Mayor-elect Eric Adams said Friday that he was not surprised Democrats lost ground in this month’s elections — from City Council districts to the governor’s race in Virginia — because elements of the party are catering to “anarchists” within its ranks.
Adams, who was in Puerto Rico attending the SOMOS political confab, said instead of focusing on kitchen-table issues, these so-called anarchists are “trying to disrupt our way of life.”
He took the veiled shot at Democratic progressives while speaking to reporters at the SOMOS retreat where he’s schmoozing with powerful political players as he prepares to take office on Jan. 1.
