New York Mayor Eric Adams, a former police official, hasn’t been in office long enough for me to speculate on the sincerity of anything he says or does. But I do believe in giving a public figure the benefit of the doubt–at least until the doubt fades away.
So meanwhile, a hat-tip to Mayor Adams! His theology may not be anywhere near mine, but at least we’re on the same game board.
At a recent “interfaith” breakfast, Adams enraged the ACLU and other Far Left Crazies by saying, “Don’t tell me about no separation of church and state… I can’t separate my belief because I’m an elected official” (https://dailycaller.com/2023/03/01/eric-adams-separation-church-state-gop-leaders/). Mayor Adams said he tries (at least!) to govern in a manner pleasing to God.
Yo, Mr. Mayor! Don’t look now, but you’ve got way plenty more people in your corner than you ever dreamed of!
When someone like SloJo or Nancy Pelosi talks like this, we recognize it as pure hypocrisy. But we are prepared to take Eric Adams at face value until he proves himself true or false.
Let’s see if he can make New York City any better. His Democrat predecessor left it in a shambles.
