Adrienne Adams, the NYC Council speaker, is rumored to be entering the 2025 mayoral race as she prepares to leave her current position. Recently, she condemned Mayor Eric Adams over his federal bribery charges. The context of her potential candidacy is marked by growing antisemitism in New York City, evidenced by violent anti-Israel protests targeting Jewish communities. Critics argue that Adams has failed to support the Jewish community and has shown alignment with far-left views that may jeopardize their safety in the city.
Alarmingly, Speaker Adams as a mayoral contender would compete for the title of candidate most in thrall to the antisemitic far-left.
As speaker, she has shown her willingness to use her office to condemn Jews - and her unwillingness to safeguard them.
Adrienne has consistently rejected opportunities to use her leadership position to show concern and support for New York's Jewish community following the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.
In just the first half of last year, hundreds of anti-Jewish hate crime incidents were reported in the Big Apple - more than those against all other identity groups.
