Demands for Adams’ Resignation: Letters to the Editor

The Situation: Pressure on Mayor Adams to resign after the Justice Department dropped charges against him.

In a twist of irony, Democrats are undermining the principle of “nobody is above the law” and the tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” by calling for the resignation of Mayor Adams after the Justice Department dismissed the charges against him (“Eric losing his grip on Gracie,” Feb. 18).

There has been no public acknowledgment from these Democrats congratulating Adams on being free from the threat of conviction or incarceration.

Instead, the chorus for his resignation grows louder.

In a rational society, an acquitted individual would be celebrated, while those found guilty would be urged to step down.

In such an atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Adams seeks alignment with President Trump and the Republican Party.

Trump successfully dismissed the indictment against Adams on both legal merits and political grounds.

Following this, Adams consented to allow ICE agents access to Rikers Island.

It’s clearly a quid pro quo: If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

The deputy mayors remained supportive of a corrupt administration until Adams dared to prioritize the safety of New Yorkers by collaborating with ICE to deport illegal immigrants.

If this doesn’t reveal the true intentions of these politicians, I don’t know what will.

The safety of New York will always be secondary to the Democrats’ agenda of open borders, leniency toward criminals, and heavy taxation of law-abiding citizens.

I hope Adams remains in office.

The alternative is far-left Jumaane Williams, which likely explains why some want Adams gone.

These are the same individuals who cheered for Trump’s unlawful prosecution.

We need ICE at Rikers Island to ensure illegal criminals are deported.

Mr. Mayor, please don’t resign.

I supported Adams staying in office because an indictment does not equate to proof of a crime, and an arrest is not a trial.

However, this latest action from the Justice Department undermines his capacity to govern the city he was elected to lead.

At this point, I feel he should either resign or be removed by Gov. Hochul.

The Situation: Controversial skits from SNL’s 50th anniversary, including Tom Hanks’ portrayal of a MAGA supporter on Black Jeopardy.

I viewed the original “Saturday Night Live” skit featuring Black Jeopardy in 2016 (“Hanks grates again,” Feb. 18).

When it first aired, President Trump was in office, and Hanks’ character sported a MAGA hat without causing any backlash.

Now, conservatives are voicing their discontent with the revival of this skit.

Times have certainly changed.

The SNL producers and Hanks are akin to former boxing champions who no longer know when to retire.

I would prefer to remember Hanks for his role in “Forrest Gump” rather than this recent controversial appearance.

I grew up watching SNL every week.

Lorne Michaels, along with the talented writers, cast, and musical guests, have made a significant impact in entertainment.

The show has launched many successful careers.

However, the media coverage of SNL 50 is becoming excessive and probably unnecessary.

It’s time to move forward.

It’s unfortunate that SNL didn’t conclude its run years ago when it still had relevance.

Now, it’s merely a ghost of its former self.
