Liberals allowed the “woke” radicals to take over.
Now they are stuck with them in every major institution.
And unhinged leftists tried to bumrush a mayoral event for one shocking reason.
New York Mayor Eric Adams is under siege.
The beleaguered mayor had to walk back his rhetoric about New York being a “sanctuary” city in light of Joe Biden’s migrant crisis that has spiraled out of control.
Adams has begun criticizing the Biden administration publicly, and even said that the migrant crisis would “destroy” New York City.
Adams has also battled personal allegations of political corruption, which triggered an investigation into his campaign.
And Adams is also dealing with hysterical pro-Palestine supporters who have caused havoc all over the city.
An angry mob of pro-Palestine activists attempted to break into an Adams event in New York.

This is not the first time that pro-Palestine protesters have run wild.
They draped the Palestinian flag over Andrew Jackson, and tied a keffiyeh around Benjamin Franklin.
Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Father of the U.S.
Today, anti-Israel protesters desecrated his statue.

The horrific terror attacks committed by Hamas on October 7th caused a major political rift, most acutely on the Left.
Old-school liberals who tend to be more supportive of Israel, are being vehemently opposed by younger, more strident leftists, who take up the pro-Palestine cause.
The rift came to a head when the presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT appeared at a Congressional hearing and could not say if calling for the genocide of Jews on their respective campuses constituted bullying and harassment.
All three said that it depended on the context.
Penn President Liz Magill stepped down after the embarrassing incident.
Harvard President Claudine Gay also resigned, but her resignation was spurred by multiple instances of plagiarism that were exposed.
Over the past several years, the Left have been justifying censorship of conservatives and even counter-narrative liberals on college campuses.
Former University of Kentucky swimmer, Riley Gaines, who has been critical of biological males competing in women’s sports, was literally held hostage on a college campus.
The left-wing outrage mob did not bat an eye, and some even congratulated the students for disrupting Gaines’s event.
But the “woke” Left’s attitude completely shifted on cancel culture when their words were being scrutinized.
Democrat strongholds like New York City are becoming ungovernable because leftist policies have run amok.
The same thing happened in the 1970s and ‘80s, and Rudy Giuliani cleaned up the city.
But a law-and-order mayor like Giuliani probably could not get elected in New York today.
