YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Violent crime in New York City hit home for Mayor Eric Adams. One of his staffers, Christopher Baugh, was robbed at gunpoint while location-scouting for Hizzoner near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The two-man mugging occurred in broad daylight on a weekday at a spot with no cameras. Our host, Kevin Sheehan, called it a “tipping point” when a member of the mayor’s team is being targeted because they’re not “walking around with armed guards.”

This comes as the Big Apple is seeing a 30-year high in crime. Major crimes are up 37.8% compared to last year, according to the NYPD. Mayor Adams’ new press secretary, Fabien Levy, said in a statement: “Chris [Baugh] works hard for the city every day, and he deserves to be safe while conducting his job, just like every other New Yorker.”
