If ever a news story has been emblematic…

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was fined in May 2022, it was recently revealed, after health inspectors found “fresh rat droppings” at his Bedford-Stuyvesant, New York, townhouse earlier this year. Boston.com reports that Adams was issued a $300 fine after ignoring a summons and is now fighting the fine in administrative court.

Adams was elected probably because he was perceived as less hostile to law & order than other Democrats, having been an NYPD officer. However, we stopped expecting an end to the anarchy when his Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell was sworn in before a mural glorifying violent left-wing maniacs, including the convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur.

Guess who pays for Adams’ legal defense? That’s right; taxpayers.

An alleged “government watchdog group” took issue with the apparent use of a city lawyer in Adams’ case. Betsy Gotbaum, executive director of the Citizens Union, alleges it to be an improper use of a City Hall employee.

The timing of this legal undertaking is certainly interesting, given that it comes just a week after New York City posted a job listing offering a salary of upwards of $170,000 for a “highly motivated and somewhat bloodthirsty” candidate to take on the city’s rat infestation.

Under leftist rule, New York City has been overrun with gigantic rats. In an earlier story that symbolizes NYC under moonbat rule, a guy waiting for a bus fell into a pit of rats when the sidewalk under him collapsed.
