AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
The real Eric Adams scandal is that, in a city of 8.3 million people, this clown was somehow the best we had to offer.
Adams, a Democrat, became the first mayor in the city’s history to be indicted while in office. (Though, New York being New York, he’s not the first to be criminally investigated.) The federal inquiry concluded with five criminal charges, all related to campaign donations and bribes that Adams allegedly received from the Turkish government.
