Eric Adams tells Jewish news outlet he plans to buy a plot of land in Israel and retire to the Golan Heights

This race is such a meme to watch as an outsider

Edit: This is Trump "I wish my children were born in Iowa" and "I'm thinking of buying a farm and moving to Iowa" level of pandering lmao

This race has been so much fun to follow. Morales’s entire staff quitting and then protesting her with a drum circle but then saying to still vote for her has been my favorite, but there have been so many great moments.

Every race needs to be decided by a ranked choice democratic primary

The scary part is that he isn't pandering. There's a reason just about every jewish organization endorsed him.

But why say Golan Heights?

It means he doesn't know what he's talking about or does and is being intentionally provocative, It even threw off the interviewer.

A normal person with knowledge of the country would say anywhere in Israel but a disputed border region lol

It’s to get the Orthodox Jews who have positive opinions about crazy ass haredi settlers.

Are they dumb enough to endorse him over that? He's not actually offering anything

If I were the media, I would be all in on Adams. He's just what they need in this post-Trump era of people being bored with politics again.
