NY Daily News 

 This mayoral candidate has the travel bug — and a tendency to take freebies from governments recognized as having major human rights issues by the United States and the United Nations.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has accepted thousands of dollars in travel and other perks from China, Turkey and Azerbaijan, three counties with a well-documented history of suppressing their citizens.

China’s government reportedly paid $787 for a hotel, local travel and meals for him when he visited the country in the summer of 2014. A nonprofit run by a volunteer Adams staffer also paid about $7,000 for the borough president and a deputy to make the 11-day trip.

Around the time of Adams’s visit, Chinese authorities “unleashed an extraordinary assault on basic human rights and their defenders with a ferocity unseen in recent years,” according to Human Rights Watch, and accelerated a brutal crackdown on its ethnic Uighur population.

The board that oversees New York City’s conflict-of-interest law declined to provide documents about the visit, citing unspecified privacy concerns.

Pressed on the funding sources, Adams said in July 2014 he would not decline offers from China’s government or nonprofits given the chance again.

“It’s totally appropriate,” he told NY1. “I’m not going to be a MetroCard borough president — I’m going to be a passport borough president.”

Why would he travel to China, Turkey and Azerbaijan? Don't mayoral candidates usually travel to "the three I's" meaning Ireland, Italy and Israel for photo ops?

The former cop who told people not to call 911 about fireworks, that they should speak to the people setting off fireworks. well one woman did and she was murdered. Sorry Eric you no go my vote.

Had the displeasure of working with this turd. Everything was a black and white issue with this loser. I avoided talking to him as much as possible. He confronts me one day and says " you have a problem with me, that you don't talk to me". I said no but I do have a problem with your agenda and walked away from him. If ever there was a racial opportunist this guy is the definition of it.

Good question -- I can understand China, I suppose, but why Turkey & Azerbaijan ... and not to Europe???? Interesting....

The only place theses morons running for mayor should travel to are the five boroughs of NYC. I don't think the gather many votes in China, Turkey or Azerbaijan. The only reason they go to these places is for cold hard cash.

Could it be that Dems don't understand logic...only vengeance, fear and hatred ?

"Turkey & Azerbaijan" ?
It sucks having to defend our American ideals AGAINST anti-American Leftists!

ALAS, counterfeit intellectual Eric Adams is an empowered idiot, AND a neo-liberal, social climbing, intolerant extremist of epic government fail. He is an embarrassment to primates!

❝The Democratic Party has a big tent coalitiion ranging ALL the way from billionaires, to the lackeys of billionaires, to people who owe favors to billionaires, to people who have been propagandized by billionaires—the WHOLE entire spectrum❞ ―—Caitlin Johnstone

❝People who think that we can be saved by a counter-revolutionary party, which never does anything but bolster the status quo, have no understanding of how REALLY BAD things are right now——and, how rapidly that they are deteriorating.❞ ―—Caitlin Johnstone

❝There is absolutely no way that the Democratic Party will EVER make the drastic changes that we will need to avoid climate collapse, or nuclear war. In policy, it only promotes slow, incremental change, and in practice it promotes no change whatsoever. You are throwing money, energy and time into armageddom, ALL of which is irreversible and irreplacable.❞ ――Caitlin Johnstone

❝They have rigged everything, silenced dissent with tech censorship and financial deplatforming, rigged the economy with insder trading, rigged democracy with lobbying and mass immigration, and they'll tell you with a straight face that racist rednecks are the problem.❞ ―—Keith Woods (@KeithWoodsYT)

❝Democrats: We propose a shitty, awful thing that will kill people and benefit billionaires. Republicans: make it 60% worse―—and, you've got a deal. Democrats AND Republicans: We have produced a bipartisan measure! That's the power of pragmatism, compromise and working together.❞ ―—Caitlin Johnstone

Progressive Snowflakes are losing it !
Trump voter: Does something nice, like shovling neighbors driveway
Biden voter: "HOW DARE YOU SHOVLE MY SNOW AWAY FROM MY DRIVEWAY, YOU NAZI" !
So kindly shoveling your driveway is equivalent to terrorism. What the hell?
