New York City Mayor Calls Elderly Woman Who Fled from Nazis a Racist

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is a failure at his job.

To cover for that failure, he uses a democrat-favorite defense mechanism, accusing those who disagree with him of being racists.

At a recent townhall, Adams was questioned by an elderly woman about rent increases across the city.

Adams apparently didn’t like the tone used by the woman so he accosted her by comparing her to a plantation owner during slavery:

“I’m the mayor of this city and treat me with the respect that I deserve to be treated. I’m speaking to you as an adult, remarked Adams.

He continued: “Don’t stand in front like you treated someone that’s on the plantation that you own.”

That didn’t take long…

Adams went straight for the race card.

There was just one problem though…

Apparently, the 84-year-old woman fled Europe during the Nazi uprising with her parents.

84 year old NYC woman who @nycmayor Eric Adams compared to a slave owner is a tenant advocate who fled Nazis. “He didn’t have an answer. That was a deflection that’s all, because he doesn’t have any answers. He can’t answer me so it’s a deflection.” https://t.co/Q9VRZqHHEp

The New York Post reported on the incident:

The woman who Mayor Eric Adams compared to a plantation owner during a fiery town hall exchange on Wednesday is a decades-long tenants advocate who’s lived in New York City since she and her parents left Europe fleeing from the Nazis.

During a townhall in at the Gregorio Luperon High School for Science and Mathematics in Washington Heights, Dubnau interrupted Mayor Adams and accused him of responsibility for the Rent Guidelines Board voting to allow landlords to hike rent on rent-stabilized apartments up to 6 percent.

Adams asked Dubnau to stand up so he could hear her better, then insisted he “does not control the [Rent] Guidelines Board.”

Now on her feet, Dubnau shouted that the mayor had previously voiced his support for the rent increases while vigorously pointing her finger at him.

A clearly perturbed Adams responded “First, if you’re going to ask a question, don’t point at me, and don’t be disrespectful to me.”

“I’m the mayor of this city and treat me with the respect that I deserve to be treated. I’m speaking to you as an adult.

“Don’t stand in front like you treated someone that’s on the plantation that you own.”

Watch this:

Eric Adams was offended by the way a woman asked him a question.

The Gateway Pundit has more details:

In a phone interview with Forward, Dubnau said she “was born in Brussels after her parents fled Nazi Germany. They managed to survive the war in France in hiding and ‘were lucky enough to come here,’ to the U.S., sponsored by her mother’s uncle.”

Dubnau has more than 40 years advocation for low income NYers of all races as Co-Founder of the Riverside Edgecombe Neighborhood Association .

leave it democrats to use race-baiting tactics to make their points…

#EricAdams’ sheer arrogance exposed once again, as he publicly demeaned a woman who was worried about rising rent costs…he is a disgrace! Adams does NOT care that #NYC people are struggling to get by. Shame on Adams for his ignorance. https://t.co/3HDQRdpJIY

1) Eric Adams, you didn't come anywhere close to answering that woman's question.

2) That woman had every right to be upset when she was on the mic.

3) Every second you were running your mouth about how you're a "grown man" who deserves respect just made you sound like this. https://t.co/M4ZAKPwzfE pic.twitter.com/m3o4eyyUU5
