Ugh Mayor Adams sounded MAGA in his speech

Adams said in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday afternoon.

"Despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign," Adams said in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday afternoon. "The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board’s decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign."

"I must also sound a warning," Adams said. "Extremism is growing in our politics. Our children are being radicalized to hate our city and our country."

"Political anger is turning into political violence too often."

"Insidious forces use local government to advance divisive agendas with little regard for how it hurts everyday New Yorkers," he said. "Major change is welcome and necessary, but beware of those who claim the answer is to destroy the very system we built together over generations. That is not change; that is chaos."
