During a recent press conference, New York City Mayor Eric Adams banned reporter Chris Sommerfeldt from future events following an escalating exchange. Adams expressed frustration with Sommerfeldt's interruptions, declaring he would not tolerate disruptions. Despite previously claiming he would engage with anyone, including those criticizing his past actions, the mayor's refusal to allow Sommerfeldt to ask questions reignited concerns about press access. The Daily News Union swiftly called for the ban's immediate reversal, highlighting that Sommerfeldt had not been permitted to ask questions for months.
You're calling out a lot, Chris. Stop calling out. You must've done that in school. You're not gonna be disruptive in our conferences. You do that again, you're gonna stop at the gate.
According to New York Post bureau chief Craig McCarthy, that exchange came moments after Adams said he'd speak with anyone to defend his controversial appearance on a livestream with popular streamer Sneako.
