Eric Adams calls out Andrew Yang’s ‘racism’ for assuming he can’t own two homes

Mayoral front-runner Eric Adams said rival candidate Andrew Yang is a racist for pushing claims that the Brooklyn borough president actually lives in a New Jersey apartment — and not in the Bedford-Stuyvesant row home he calls his primary residence.

“How dare Andrew Yang say a retired [NYPD] captain, a state senator, a borough president, significant other is an educator, we can’t have two homes?” Adams said Friday at a Staten Island campaign event, referring to his own resume and that of his girlfriend, who co-owns the Garden State address. “He has two homes. So you don’t see the hint of racism in that that I can’t have two homes?” Adams said, referring to Yang’s New Paltz, NY, vacation home, where he spent the pandemic with his family.
