The Left is going off the rails. But this is certifiably insane.
Now a major Democrat compared themself to this Biblical figure and all hell is breaking loose.
Mayor Eric Adams, in a dramatic appeal for sympathy, likened himself to the Bible’s Job — known for enduring immense suffering — while asking for prayers during visits to two Brooklyn churches on Sunday.
His plea for divine intervention comes suspiciously close on the heels of federal investigations into some of his top aides.
Instead of addressing the troubling corruption probes, Adams sought refuge in spiritual rhetoric, turning the pulpit into his personal PR stage.
At the Power and Authority Evangelical Ministry and the Changing Lives Christian Center, Adams declared that the story of Job was his “favorite,” making sure to cast himself as a figure of persecution.
“I had many Job moments in my life,” he said, listing his past struggles with learning disabilities, dyslexia, and diabetes, while seemingly glossing over the real reason people are asking questions: federal agents serving warrants on his inner circle.
“These are Job moments. When your faith becomes stronger,” Adams preached, trying to frame the investigations as just another hurdle in his life. But is that really the takeaway when federal scrutiny is involved?
When reporters pressed Adams about whether he felt targeted due to the raids on his police commissioner, Edward Caban, and other close allies, the mayor deflected with a dismissive response:
“If that’s all you got out of that sermon, you’re missing it.” Really? Or is the mayor just hoping we’ll look the other way?
As he walked to his car, Adams shook hands with Power and Authority Bishop Rotimi Onabanjo, urging, “Pray — pray for them all. Pray for me.” But perhaps it’s more than prayers he should be asking for.
Despite his recent troubles, some churchgoers seemed to buy into the mayor’s act.
“I’m a fan — he seems down to earth,” said Pamela Green, a mother of two. But being “down to earth” doesn’t exactly excuse federal investigations, does it?
Elizabeth Armstrong, a 62-year-old nurse, brushed off the concerns, saying, “When you are in the political life and the limelight, you are gonna have things thrown at you.”
But is it just “things thrown at you,” or is this a real wake-up call about accountability?
Even Latoya Bass, another attendee, praised the mayor’s sermon, hoping that the Lord would “recover him” and guide the city.
But maybe it’s not divine recovery we need here — perhaps some straightforward answers would be a better place to start.
While Adams tries to portray himself as a biblical figure of suffering, New Yorkers should be asking: Is he really the victim, or is there something more beneath the surface?
