(New York, NY) — Mayor Adams is getting a lot of heat after hosting a social media influencer at Gracie Mansion that many say is antisemitic. Sneako has been banned from Twitch for his hateful comments about Jews. Mayor Adams could be seen this weekend smoking cigars with Sneako on the patio at Gracie Mansion, as he gave the streamer an interview.
Local lawmakers were quick to pounce on Adams. Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres took to “X” to shame Adams for the sit down with Sneako. He posted “Who’s next on the guest list, David Duke?”
City Hall responded to the uproar on Sunday releasing the following statement. “Mayor Adams has always stood strongly with the Jewish community and will continue to do so without compromise. He has a long and proud record of fighting antisemitism, supporting Jewish causes.” They went on to say “The Mayor is frequently interviewed by a wide range of streamers, podcasters, and media figures from many backgrounds. While he does not share the views of all who interview him, his values remain unwavering.”
