I just received this out of pocket political text! I don’t know who this conspiratorial BS is meant to persuade but it won’t be me. Adams is a bribe taking 🤡 who should keep Mayor Dinkins name out of his mouth.

Text Message • SMS Today 17:06 THEY stopped Gov. Patterson, THEY humiliated Mayor Dinkins and now THEY are trying to destroy Mayor Adams?

Do they think Black New Yorkers can’t follow the news? That we don’t know about the bags of potato chips?

Adams has an indescribably low opinion of Black voters. Wow.

If only these fools spent as much time and $$ working against Trump. Instead they are engaged in a race to the bottom to stop Zohran from winning. Not political vision, no hope, no plan, just conspiracy and grifting until the bitter end.

Hah. Thanks. These folks are flushing $$ down the drain. They might as well donate it to charity given how their boss is doing.

I can't imagine giving $250,000 or $500,000 to the Adams campaign. Unless it's some sort of grift, which certainly seems possible.

Adams attracts grift. It doesn't have to make sense because nothing about him makes sense except Always Be Grifting.

Right! But a grift for what, when he’s going to be out of power in 3 months? What are you hoping to gain?

Well, it's worth noting these are crypto enthusiasts. They're used to setting money on fire for the worst reasons imaginable.

Yeah, fair … but what was Winnie Greco hoping to gain by giving $200 and half a bag of chips to a reporter? These people aren’t chess masters.
