New York Times: Eric Adams Is A Democrat So It’s No Longer Hateful To Oppose Uncontrolled Mass Migration

Nothing has changed about the border and immigration crisis. The only difference for The New York Times is that Eric Adams is a Democrat.

A favorite pastime of mine is watching how quickly the national media discover nuance and complexity in a tragedy once it’s a Democrat who’s at the root of it.

Political violence committed by a Republican? Right-wing, pro-gun, white supremacist inspired by Fox News and Donald Trump’s hateful rhetoric!

All of us are going to be impacted by this. … The city we knew, we’re about to lose.”

I remember a certain someone who spoke of the mass migration problem in similar terms.

Trump, October 2018: “This is an invasion of our Country…”

During that time, a month ahead of the midterm elections, Trump was warning about the so-called “caravan” of several thousand migrants marching from Central America to the U.S., where they would demand entry and all the perks that come from scamming our...
