NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a recent interview, "the Democratic Party left me."

Adams recently met with President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home to discuss future plans for New York City.

Just days later, the mayor received an invitation to the presidential inauguration and dropped his scheduled plans for Martin Luther King, Jr Day to attend the ceremony.

But Adams says the values originally touted by the Democratic Party no longer exist.

1. another embarrassment

[sanduca]

2. Oh, shut up Ronald Reagan!

The democratic party left me! 😂😂

[Renew Deal]

3. It's true. Dems left his criminality behind.

[Pachamama]

4. Hope NYC votes his ass out in major defeat n/t

[Polybius]

6. Cuomo is going to crush him n/t

[Du916]

33. God forbid.

Cuomo is a bigger POS.

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

5. Would be nice if it were true.

But anyone can call themselves a Democrat at election time; and if they have someone to buy them enough speech, they can win sometimes.

[Karasu]

7. This dude was always a wolf in sheep's clothing. Not surprising he's trying to go the Fetterman route in order to

legitimize it.

[Buddyzbuddy]

8. Los Angeles dodged a bullet when they chose

Mayor Bass over Caruso. He thought by changing his party affiliation he would be able to slither in. Good luck getting rid of Adams.

11. Don't count your chickens...

I understand Caruso is starting a big-budget campaign to have Bass recalled, due to her failure to prevent the wildfires.

[Buddyzbuddy]

16. Thank you, I'm aware of his plan. Like when Arnold swooped

in when Gray Davis was recalled. That sure ticked off some people that had plans for that office, like Darryl Izza.
I thought Caruso's Palisades shopping center was destroyed in the fire, but I later heard a report that he hired private firefighters to save the structures. He may try for Governor instead of Mayor. Another guy that had a rich daddy.

[Astraea]

9. No, you suck, and nobody likes you

How 'bout that?

[electric_blue68]

10. Adams? PFffffffftttt.....sez this NYC'r.

[regnaD kciN]

12. Wasn't he originally a Republican...?

[littlemissmartypants]

13. Who?

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Bullsh*t

Adams expects the Democratic Party to defend and prop him up?

The Party knows when to stay in the background. That's how his predecessor, Bill DeBlasio, lost support. And Congressman Anthony Weiner. Nothing personal. It's politics.

[RandiFan1290]

15. You've always been a republicon

You're not fooling anyone

[lark]

17. Nope, Adams was always a self serving DINO.

[Javaman]

18. yup, they did...

because you're a fucking crook.

[Tom Rinaldo]

19. Hard at work on his Presidential pardon n/t

[thesquanderer]

20. I guess this means now it should be okay to criticize him on DU! (n/t)

[electric_blue68]

34. Hey, this NYC'r wasn't thrilled when he was elected. Not that much better than a repuglican.

[thesquanderer]

35. I know. I'm in a suburb, but I was not a fan. But I figured we couldn't say those things on DU. Until maybe now... (nt)

[electric_blue68]

36. I might have said something earlier not as an OP, but to something. Can't remember for sure.

Maaaybe...when we in NYC were talking about the fact that we were doing Rank Choice Voting for the first time of which the Mayorial Race was a part.

[Vinca]

21. So grab your knee pads Eric and change parties. You won't win next time anyway.

[Oopsie Daisy]

22. I've heard the same thing before from other treacherous politicians...

... no need for me to mention any names.

[Marthe48]

23. The Dem party still requires minimum standards from its candidates

The further rwnj sink, the more important it is to vet Dem candidates and make sure they don't regard politics as an anything goes gravvy train.

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Yes, your values are not those of the Democratic Party.

[Drum]

25. He's a piece o' crap. Never trusted him.

He’s awful for NYC.

[JohnSJ]

26. Mayor Adams, you are a crook, which is probably why you have an affinity for other crooks.

[Voltaire2]

27. Begging for pardon. Clown. Nt.

[AZLD4Candidate]

28. Can I start ripping him now without fear of a hide? He is still a Democrat like Sinema and Manchin and Miller were.

[Oneironaut]

29. Bow to your King, fool.

Polish his boots with your tongue.

[republianmushroom]

30. Another DINO.

No, Mayor Eric we just don't think our leaders should be indicted 5 time for federal public corruption charges, including bribery and wire fraud

[LudwigPastorius]

31. Might as well throw in with the fascists.

Your approval rating as mayor is the lowest since they’ve been keeping records of that sort of thing.

[skypilot]

32. You know someone is full of shit when...

...they choke out an incoherent statement like this:

And our conversations that we should be talking about are not the issues that everyday people, that are in power are talking about," he said.

37. Adams: "the Democratic Party left me."
