When you think New York City politics can’t get any more laughable, along comes Eric Adams’ camp with yet another episode of corruption and cover-ups. This time, one of Adams’ longtime aides was caught handing a journalist a wad of cash—stuffed not in some slick envelope, but in a plain old potato chip bag. And the explanation? It was supposedly a “birthday gift,” a quaint little cultural excuse that doesn’t fool anyone. This isn’t just some harmless birthday gesture; it’s a shady, underhanded payoff that reeks of the same rotten swamp politics liberals keep glorifying.
For a man like Eric Adams—who was recently indicted on serious charges like bribery, illegal campaign donations, and wire fraud—this kind of shady behavior is par for the course. The FBI had to raid the aide’s home as part of an ongoing investigation that ties Adams directly to questionable dealings with foreign entities like the Turkish government. Yet, thanks to political interference and corrupt liberal prosecutors, the charges were mysteriously dropped. When conservatism stands for law and order, the left swoops in to protect their own rotten apples.

This isn’t just a story about an aide with poor judgment. It’s a glaring example of how Democrats run their dirty campaigns. Greco’s pitiful defense of the cash handoff as tradition, and then blaming the reporter for “trying to hurt her,” is textbook liberal victim play. They don’t own their crimes—they dodge responsibility and spin it as cultural misunderstanding. Meanwhile, the city they claim to serve suffers from rampant crime, soaring taxes, and vanishing opportunity. But hey, at least they can pass the cash around in chip bags and pretend everything is fine.
What’s even more disturbing is the obvious globalist ties in this whole mess. Adams’ alleged connections with Turkey show just how internationally entangled and compromised these leftist city leaders are. Instead of putting America first, they’re busy digging their hands into foreign pockets. How long will citizens put up with this? The Trump administration tried to crack down, but liberal hacks in the Justice Department fought back, forcing resignations and dismissals to protect Adams. The swamp protects its own, and the people get left holding the bag—sometimes literally in the case of that chip bag full of cash.
At the end of the day, New Yorkers deserve better than corrupt collecting envelopes disguised as potato chip bags and feeble excuses rooted in identity politics. They deserve leadership that respects the law and values the truth. But with Adams and his crew, it’s clear that it’s always going to be cash, cover-ups, and culture excuses over honesty and responsibility. When will Americans say enough is enough and toss these swamp creatures out where they belong? Because if handing out bribes in snack bags is the new normal, we’ve officially lost the fight for decent governance
