New York Mayor Eric Adams has urged residents to stop mentioning the City’s crime problem in an apparent attempt to gaslight the public into thinking it’s down.
“Can we please stop saying we’re up in crime in our subway system?” Adams said.
“We are not! We’re down in crime in the subway system,” he added.
The Mayor also reiterated a controversial comment that the resident’s perception of crime, not the crime itself, has skyrocketed.
Adams claims that public “perception is playing into this” and “perception can override this.”
Watch
He made bizarre statements while touting statistics from the New York Police Department, claiming that overall crime had fallen from the previous year.
Even if those statistics are correct, it’s hardly an achievement since crime was out of control in 2023.
If New York subways are safe, why have the National Guardsmen called in?

According to an internal NYPD document, crime has surged to “levels unseen in nearly two decades.”
“For the second year in a row under Adams, overall crime was on the rise — driven by a historic surge in assaults — which neared 28,000 for the first time in the city’s publicly recorded history, according to the police department’s rolling report,” the New York Post reported.
“While Adams has been touting his success in his war against crime, citing a slight dip reported at the end of 2023, the rolling report shows that the early-year victory lap was premature,” the Post said.
“The number of seven major crimes in 2023 jumped to 127,111 once around 430 upgrades were accounted for, marking the highest totals since 2006 for the second year in a row, according to the police data.”
