Here is something completely unsurprising. On Monday night, I attended an event to celebrate 30 years of democracy in South Africa. There were many distinguished guests and honorees, most of them South Africans or longtime allies in the struggle, including leaders from many of the labor unions that stood in solidarity with the ANC at a critical time. Also, Eric Adams showed up.
The mayor marched on stage, congratulated the audience for the election of “an African” (him) as mayor of “the greatest city in the world” (New York.) While he blundered his way through a three minute speech about how swagger ended apartheid, his army of pigs was uptown beating and arresting the closest thing we have to heirs of the movement leaders in that room.
I really hope he got booed and/or heckled. Adams is somehow the worse mayor NYC has ever had (at least from the outside looking in) and he faced some real stiff competition.
