'The symbolism of Eric Adams surrounding himself with Black clergy outside of Gracie Mansion cannot be understated. Adams has tried to make the case that he is being targeted because he is Black. The indictment lists free trips and business class airline upgrades Adams accepted that were valued at more than $100,000. They included: A roundtrip flight from New York to India in 2016; free business class tickets for himself and two companions on roundtrip flights from New York to France, Turkey, Sri Lanka and China in July 2017; a steeply discounted stay at the Bentley Suites that he accepted that same month; free business class tickets for himself and a companion on roundtrip flights from New York to China in October 2017 and free upgrades to business class for himself and a companion on roundtrip flights from New York to Hungary in January 2018; and steeply discounted business class tickets, stays at a luxury hotel and resort and transportation that he solicited in June 2021...Adams continued to conceal benefits he received from foreign nationals seeking to gain influence over him, the indictment charges. In March 2019, while exchanging texts to plan another possible trip to Turkey, an Adams staffer texted Adams that “To be o[n the] safe side Please Delete all messages you send me.” Adams responded, “Always do.”'
'..."I think today was a mess for Harris," Jennings said to sum up the day. "I mean, Joe Biden went on 'The View' today and said he delegated all sorts of authority to her on domestic policy. We know that the Biden administration's not popular on domestic and economic policy. She gave a speech today saying we gotta move past the policies that people think have failed. Well, people think the last four years are a failure." he continued, speaking about Harris. And those events that Jennings referenced all happened even before the interview that took place during the 7pm hour came up. Sarah covered Biden's appearance on "The View," including how he pretty much threw Harris under the bus with such a line about delegating. Such a point about Biden delegating powers to Harris turned out to be a particularly memorable and trending moment from that appearance. ...'
