Rep. AOC joins call for mayor's resignation or removal

[RandySF]

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat representing parts of the Bronx and Queens, is among the latest elected officials calling for Mayor Eric Adams to resign or be removed by the governor.

Pressure is mounting against Adams following the resignation of several federal prosecutors who refused to follow orders from acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove to drop the case against Adams on charges of corruption and illegal campaign donations.

“Mayor Adams is putting the City of New York and its people at risk in exchange for escaping charges,” Ocasio-Cortez posted on X Feb 13. “As long as Trump wields this leverage over Adams, the city is endangered. We cannot be governed under coercion. If Adams won’t resign, he must be removed.”

Adams hit back, reportedly calling AOC a “no-show congresswoman” and saying, “I don’t know when the last time [constituents] saw her in her congressional district.”

1. TX Paul says no! That by leaving Adams in office until the time period to call a special election has

expired (Marcy?April?) NYers won't run the risk of returning cuomo as Mayor, as he would benefit from a special election. After the expiration of the special election period cuomo's chances of re-election are reduced considerably.

Hey NYers: do you want cuomo back as mayor?

Not with AOC on this.
