"Mayor Adams and Gov. Hochul mostly stayed clear of each other while attending the annual West Indian Day celebrations in Brooklyn on Monday - a split that comes amid a simmering feud between the two top Democrats over how to manage New York's migrant crisis. According to their public schedules, Adams was supposed to deliver remarks before Hochul at a breakfast event in Crown Heights ahead of the West Indian Day Parade along Eastern Parkway."
"A few minutes later, Adams arrived. "The West Indian-Americans have brought the spirit and energy of their homelands to the five boroughs," said the mayor, whose last public appearance with the governor was nearly a month ago. "Like many of them that visit our city, they are frontline workers, business owners. They believe in education, family, public safety and the boundless possibilities that New York has to offer.""
"Following the breakfast, Adams and Hochul shared a brief moment together at the ribbon-cutting kicking off the parade. They then walked the parade route separately, shaking hands and snapping selfies with revelers cramming the Eastern Parkway sidewalks for the occasion. A spokesman for Adams said he did not know why the mayor showed up late to the breakfast event.
