  • Johnson references a press conference he attended about African teens' experiences in shelters
  • He claims Adams is prioritizing recent migrants to appease them and avoid legal troubles
  • Johnson criticizes nonprofits for not calling for Adams' resignation, which he sees as the root of the problem

Okay.
4:05:34
Got the noon with a chair looks of Villas and chair lead the Stevens.
4:05:38
Christopher Leon Johnson here.
4:05:40
So I wanna make this clear that I heard these stories of these people.
4:05:44
This is sad that their kids are going through stuff, even the kids of self that's going through stuff.
4:05:50
I was at the press conference this morning and prompt to both people for city yes hearing.
4:05:55
I say no to city yes.
4:05:57
And I saw a press conference with these African teen stories about what they're going through in the shelters, and I found out they wasn't they are not like the the the current migrants that coming over the border, so it had nothing to do with that.
4:06:12
The the reason this is happening because Adams Adams Adams is trying to prioritize these these people that just come over the border, just recently come over the border because the Biden situation, and he's trying to appease them really more now because he's trying to stay out of jail.
4:06:29
He's indicted.
4:06:30
He need to resign.
4:06:32
The reason I don't know not why not?
4:06:34
1 of these nonprofits, including miss Tucker, didn't call for a resignation of Eric Adams because the reason this is happening to these these these children here is because of Adams.
4:06:45
If these children these migrant children here were The migrant truck children that just came from the border on the on the the Biden executive order.
4:06:54
He'll been helping them helping these people out.
4:06:57
But because they'd be here over 5, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5 year 10 years ago, he's not gonna help him out.
4:07:04
And the problem is that, look, these people here, like, they are trying to do the right thing.
4:07:09
They came in legally, and Adams don't care about that.
4:07:13
He's just helping the people out that jumped the line.
4:07:16
So the root of all this is Adams.
4:07:18
People these nonprofits, including miss Tucker, should have been on here called for a resignation of Eric Adams.
4:07:24
That's the truth.
4:07:25
So I stand with my groups.
4:07:27
I love them all, but Eric hasn't go.
4:07:29
Thank you.
4:07:30
Thank you.
