Hecklers stormed a stage where New York City Mayor Eric Adams was speaking, accusing him of being bought by the rich.
On Tuesday, during a “power breakfast” held by the Association for a Better New York, Adams gave a speech outlining updates on progress made by the city under his tenure. In the middle of the speech, a group of hecklers stormed the stage, placing themselves within arm’s length of the mayor, video showed.
“How much money do you take from the rich?” the protesters chanted.
“We need a new mayor!” others shouted.
The protesters shouted complaints about rent and landlords, and security quickly retook the stage and dragged them off.
The left-wing group Planet Over Profit claimed responsibility for the incident.
“This was us. Landlord Adams is torching our city so he can keep eating out of real estate lobby’s hands. He gutted the city’s Green New Deal, Local Law 97, so the rich can get richer. Enough is enough. Let’s get us a better mayor,” they wrote on X.
