Mayor Eric Adams' repeated public comments that he carried fallen officer Robert Venable's photo in his wallet has been called into question by the New York Times.
Eric Adams, the Democratic mayor of New York City, criticized President Joe Biden yet again during a recent interview on the ongoing migrant crisis in his city.that he has carried a photo of a fallen officer in his wallet for decades.
A report published Thursday by the Times, however, cast doubt on the mayor’s story, reporting that the photo"had not actually spent decades in the mayor’s wallet." The mayor additionally posed for the camera last year while holding the photo after a Times reporter requested to see the image. "The Times’ efforts to attack the mayor here would be laughable if it were not so utterly offensive," he said in a statement this week.Levy directed Fox News Digital on Thursday to his office’s full response to the report, which highlighted that"multiple members of Officer Venable’s family today came out to criticize The New York Times’ effort to create a divide between Mayor Adams and the Venable family.
"When the mayor met my son at that very memorial, he immediately recognized my dad’s smile. Like I told the Times, if the mayor can do some good by using my father’s story to get more guns off the street, I am happy for him to do so," she added in her statement provided in the city press release.
