New York City's Chaotic Democratic Mayoral Primary Is Over…And the Former Cop Won

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

It's over. It's finally over. The next mayor of New York City is going to be a black former police officer, which is the seat of irony given the Democratic Party's violent shift toward being pro-crime and anti-police. 

Eric Adams didn't have the social media reach as other candidates, like Andrew Yang, but he did highlight public safety at a time when the Big Apple is seeing a crime spike. People are being shot in Times Square. Liberals like to point out that it's not nearly as bad as the 1980s and early 1990s to make their shoddy point that the spike is being overblown. So, we must wait until there are nearly 2,000 homicides to sound the alarm bells? That's what the butcher's bill was in NYC back in 1993 before Giuliani was elected to clean up the mess. Three words, liberals: broken windows theory. You have to pinch it off before it begins. Stop-and-frisk was not a bad policy. And please bring back the plainclothes anti-crime unit.
