New York Mayor Eric Adams made a fashionably leftist political statement at the Met Gala Monday night, sporting an elaborate tuxedo that had “End Gun Violence” emblazoned on the back of his jacket, and he was endlessly mocked for it.
Adams walked the red carpet with girlfriend Tracey Collins in a gauche masterpiece adorned with custom art from Laolu Senbanjo, who is a Nigerian artist based in New York City. The tux also displayed the symbol for the N train where a mass shooting took place in Brooklyn wounding 23 people.
The mayor seems to have a penchant for high-society parties and this was his chance to make a brazen leftist political push against guns. He also attended New York Fashion Week in February where he was seated next to Anna Wintour.
Although he has made big statements when it comes to eradicating crime in New York, there have been 291 shootings in the city so far this year, up from 252 over the same period last year, according to NYPD statistics.
In fact, crime is skyrocketing in the Big Apple. In March, the city reported 115 shooting incidents. That’s up more than 16 percent from March 2021.
“The goal is to end gun violence and save our children,” Adams proclaimed, according to the Daily Mail, as he pointed out the various subway lines displayed on his jacket. “Here’s my Q train, my 3 train, my N train, my A train.”
“Bringing a little swagger back to the #MetGala! Honored to be here,” Adams tweeted.

“Oh thank goodness NYC is safe now,” Wu-Tang Is For The Children sarcastically tweeted.
Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean slammed Adams over the spectacle, “Because this outfit will apparently help clean up New York, @NYCMayor. You are an embarrassment.”

“Mayor Adams is so out of touch and so fake.. The elitists are laughing at us all,” another Twitter user named Cassie commented.
Conservative TV commentator Greg Kelly eviscerated the mayor, “This FREAK SHOW ‘Eric’ should be in THE BRONX at the NYPD operations center. He told a gullible FAKE NEWS that he knew how to fight crime. This is his solution. GRAFFITI On his clothes. STUPID OUTFIT. STUPID GUY @NYCMayor”
The mocking of Adams was epic… it went on, and on, and on:
Eric Adams, wearing a jacket stating end gun violence, you are the mayor, that should be your job, not guns but criminals

Eric Adams proves once again that the Dems just don’t get it. Wearing a clown suit that says end gun violence to a gala event.

When it comes to any feeble photo-op, politicians know no embarrassment. These mindless twits only operate in the moment and “damn the consequences” because their backs are covered by the biased press.
He is a closet queen and they have him compromised.
And how much did that cost the taxpayers?
Swagger… yeah right. This turd is a corrupt, posing, White people hating phony. FEA and joey.
I mean what do you expect from a thug from the ghetto!
(sings): Don’t be fooled by the clothes that I got., I’m still, I’m still Eric from the block!
What was that word that The Godfather used to describe Phillip Tattaglia? It suits Eric Adams perfectly.
SO . . . the BOY from the ghetto gets to hob nob with the elites at the met gala . . . BFD

From what I have heard and seen, this doofus Adam is only qualified to be in GQ magazine ads.
Or trying to copy AOC.
Adams has quickly turned form the savior of New York into the thing that defines today’s politician: a celebrity. More interested in fashion than actual gun safety. More interested in dining with other celebrities than with those at a soup kitchen. He cannot be challenged due to his race. At election time he will again promise what the New York liberals want to hear and again deliver on nothing.
Anybody notice the ‘Racist’ message also being displayed, hint, look closely at the facial Impression’s, they are all black not one White, Asian, or Latino face among them, one would surmise that they are the victims and not any of the other victims such as the White, Asian, and Latinos who have been plagued by black crime, as a matter of fact, black on any other ethnicity is grossly higher than the opposite worldwide, this is a researched based fact!!!
All the new commercials on TV ads are using blacks only, every TV show has almost 50% black cast; no wonder survey has shown people think that blacks make up 41% of US population, in reality they are 12% of total population. It was 14%, but you know abortions and black on black death has reduced their population.
So in your face!!!!!
You’ve noticed it too???
I don’t watch mainstream T.V. anymore, got sick of all the socio-politico brainwashing being pushed by the so called woke companies, what happened to just selling their prospective products, streaming has a lot less commercials without all the hype.
And almost all the marriages depicted in it are mixed marriages!
That’s why I don;t even pay too much attention to them. I go grab a snack or make a quick trip to the bathroom before the show comes back.
‘Willie da gay Pimp’ Adams; reinforcing every no-class, no-taste buffoonish negro stereotype. Git ta smilin’ fo da camera wit’ yo’ beard/gal, boy! Hahahahahaha!
This is the guy New Yorkers voted for. What a bunch of rubes.
What nonsense! Goes to show you he is not original and can not come up with his own ideas. He is a follower apparently of AOC – truthfully they deserve each other
What a moron . We never imagined anyone could be a worse mayor than DeBozo !
Graffiti now that’s the answer to crime,,,,how ghetto can one person be,,,,,FJB,,,,,
sympl1
Adams attending an expensive gala while wearing that jacket reminds me of Nero and Rome.
He has finally found, his TRUE CALLING … walking the streets of NY wearing a sandwich board, advertizing a stupid left-wing/liberal religious idea….
the magic suit, i’m sure that will stop all gun violence in new york. hmmm
Golly- how much does the mayor earn? I imagine that suit cost a pretty penny. Okay- the suit (sans the “Stop Gun Violence” part) was pretty cool. BUT- what the heck is Mayor Adams doing? It is so wrong for him to chase his own celebrity while he insists on masking little kids and doing NOTHING to deal with the unbelievable bedlam that is killing his city. It appears that he does not care about his citizens.
New Yorkers voted for this stupid-looking monkey.
Enjoy…
Odd that actual politicians govern like they’re on a TV show, and the guy who was on a TV show governed like an actual leader.
A map of the subway how is that art!
For what that tux cost could had fixed some cameras in the subway or paid a few policemen’s salaries! That tux does nothing to protect NYC just proves what a fool he really is….
tap dancing
red nose
Does New York Mayor Eric Adams understand that it’s 9ne of his few actual jobs in NYC?
HOW MUCH TAX-PAYER TIME DID THIS IDJET USE UP TO GET THIS BRIGHT IDEA !! HOW MUCH BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED BY ALL THOSE CRIMINAL-GUNS WHILE HE WAS PARADING AROUND WITH THAT DAMN UGLY COAT ON ?? THE GUY IS AN IDJET, AND N.Y. DESERVES THAT KIND OF LEADERSHIP !! F.J.B.
Sad thing is, like all democrats, he’s not intelligent enough to accept the hard fact that guns have no minds of their own, so there is no such thing as “gun violence.” There is only people violence. And most of the people violence is committed by those of his race. His anger should be directed at them and their enablers, the bleeding heart prosecutors and judges who have no interest in keeping violent offenders off the streets.
NY city voters are dumb.
What a dud of a mayor. Nothing will change in New York with this guy at the helm. Phony
In psychiatry there is something known as The Peacock Syndrome.In Nature,many species,the male is far prettier/better looking than the female.Deer antlers,male red cardinals are two examples.Humans,especially those of color(not my words,the psychiatric books) dress to become prettier than the female of the species.
I really thought deblasio was the low point for NY, looks like I was wrong.
Each successive democrat mayor in nyc must be progressively worse than the outgoing mayor. It’s inevitable. It’s a critical part of their agenda.
Yep, people are actually thinking of Comrade Bill’s terms as the good old days.
I wouldn;t go THAT far….yet.
