Shortly after winning the Democratic mayoral primary in 2021, Adams reached out to Daniel Nigro, the New York City fire commissioner at the time, encouraging him to let Turkish government officials use the building, which had not yet opened because fire department officials had refused to sign off on the safety of its occupancy, sources told The New York Times.

Adams said in a statement Sunday via campaign spokesperson Evan Thies that part of his role as Brooklyn Borough President was to "notify government agencies of issues on behalf of constituents and constituencies."
The government of Turkey is a "constituent"? Does anybody even remotely buy that horseshit?

Pay no attention to the stench emanating from Gracie Mansion.

ReplyDeleteWell, Menendez already had the Egyptian money sewed up for NJ, so Turkey seemed a good idea for NY.
