Eric Adams has been forced to confront the crisis from behind a screenMayor Eric Adams embarked on a seemingly endless series of TV and radio interviews Wednesday morning as he remains quarantined with COVID-19, amid one of the worst crises of his brief mayoral tenure.
Speaking to WNYC Wednesday, the mayor broke the news that police were now considering Frank R. James, 62,in the mass subway shooting that rocked the city Tuesday morning, with dozens of people injured. James had previously been deemed a “person of interest.” He repeatedly invokes wartime analogies, saying generals must lead their troops from the front. Adams has also relied on the press to help amplify his message. Yet as of Wednesday morning, he had not answered questions on the latest shooting from much of the City Hall press corps.
“I did,” Adams replied. “And those who know me are well aware that I want to be on the ground. I want to lead the city from the front. That is symbolic and it is substantive.”
