Obama had beer summits and now apparently Eric Adams is inviting gangs to Gracie Mansion.

Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday he will deploy 1,000 cops to patrol the Bronx this weekend after a surge of shootings – and plans to invite gang members to Gracie Mansion in a bid to settle their beef.
“We have 1,000 more officers that are going to be deployed in the Bronx to assist with Chief [Benjamin] Gurley and assisting other personnel,” Adams said as he addressed the community members at Haffen Park, where a deadly shootout erupted Saturday night.
“We’ve actually looked all over the city… we’ve gotten officers from behind the desk to be out this weekend and we want to make sure we have the right deployment to deal with this violence.”
Gang members are notoriously level headed and ready to work things out so surely this will go well and solve all the problems.

They should maybe get their messaging straight, particularly since they are both Democrats, allegedly.
“Invite Gangs to Gracie Mansion”… this sounds like a great idea 🤦♀️ https://t.co/iQa3R5RDCp

Why is the Mayor of NYC in 2025 seeking to use his official residence to publicly mediate between violent criminal gangs? https://t.co/fShjxlANuM pic.twitter.com/bhG3AePo5h

Adams is much better than Andrew Cuomo https://t.co/l4YenQpsKK

That's a low bar.
Is he sure he does not want to defund the police? https://t.co/YEuuTXdr02

He clearly can't decide.
No wonder NYC is sliding toward electing a communist Mayor. @NYCMayor is completely lost. He’s so clueless he might as well hand gangs the keys to Gracie Mansion. This isn’t leadership—it’s reckless lunacy. https://t.co/x2pczTaQvR

He's grasping at straws.
End bail reform and get rid of the raise the age law. Crime would go down quickly. https://t.co/SHizc3Vo5d

It’s heartbreaking to see innocent bystanders like Anthonaya Campbell caught in the crossfire. More cops are a start, but let’s also invest in community programs to address the root causes of gang violence. Peace talks could help if they’re backed by real resources. https://t.co/qR1oXGTmGe

He was too busy going out on the town.
The gangs must be ruthlessly crushed, there is no making peace with them. https://t.co/NPVicSgjx1

Never negotiate with terrorists.
