Eric Adams pokes fun at Turkish corruption scandal in Mamdani-style social media video
Briefly

Eric Adams released a video for his independent campaign, mocking opponents for leaving town. He referenced Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani's trip to Uganda and Andrew Cuomo's presence in the Hamptons. Adams alluded to his own dropped federal charges regarding illegal donations from the Turkish government, making humorous remarks about escaping to Turkish cities. He emphasized his role in maintaining control in New York City, asserting that without him, safety and productivity would decline. The video mimics successful tactics used by Mamdani in his campaign.
"I'm told my opponents are leaving town either to celebrate winning half an election or maybe writing another book on failed leadership."
"I can think of many places I'd go to get away from y'all, Ankara, Istanbul, or Zero Bound."
"If I'm gone there won't be an Eric Adams keeping things under control. Somebody has to keep us safe, and get stuff done."
