Following the Justice Department's decision to drop charges against Mayor Eric Adams, protests erupted demanding his resignation from office. Critics argue this undermines the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty'. Despite Adams being acquitted, prominent Democrats have refrained from supporting him. There are accusations of a quid pro quo with political motives involved, particularly regarding his cooperation with ICE agents at Rikers Island. Supporters fear a far-left successor could follow if Adams is removed, while concerns about immigration policies continue to be contentious.
"In a sane world, an individual who is acquitted is embraced, while a person who is convicted is asked to resign."
"Clearly it is a quid pro quo: If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it is a duck."
