Not only did Dem Councilman Ari Kagan's party swtch make big news in all the papers --- he rated a formal "non-partisan" response from the City Council Speaker putting him on the partisan chopping block

 

Here's the beef directly from the top Democrat butcher of the Council:  

"Statement from Speaker Adrienne Adams on Council Member Ari Kagan Changing to Republican Party Affiliation to Join Minority Conference

December 5, 2022
“Voters sent Council Member Kagan to the Council as a member of the majority conference and this drastic about-face seriously calls into question his commitment to the policy priorities of our conference that will impact his committee roles, particularly his chairmanship given the fact that he is joining a party that denies climate change. New Yorkers have expectations for their representatives to carry the values that they were elected to prioritize over politics. Our Democratic Conference will continue to consistently place the public interest of our city over politics without Council Member Kagan....”

Ari Kagan's switch obviously made Council Speaker Adams so upset that she lost all sense of logic and syntax, as well as her proper official decorum as Council Speaker.....

Here's where she turned what should have been a sharply cut slab of prime meat about the Kagan switcheroo into a mess of very flabby ground chuck  (does anybody know what shredded beef suet is anymore ?) ---  suitable only for woke Democrat "Whimpies"  ---  especially all the slippery sliders like herself   >>>  "....  New Yorkers have expectations for their representatives to carry the values that they were elected to prioritize over politics. Our Democratic Conference will continue to consistently place the public interest of our city over politics without Council Member Kagan....”

WTF !!!

Although she tried to make her statement appear to be high-minded and formally made as the "Speaker" of the NYC Council, Council Speaker Adam's then stole the hat of Democrat Leader Keith Powers and his partisan meat cleaver too.....   As a result, what she came out with was some Kamala Harris kind of verbal shambala-ism that Democrats like "Hey ! Adrienne..." Adams think passes for wit, wisdom, and woke sensibility.  

The Speaker properly observed that  New Yorkers' have expectations for their City Council representatives  carrying out the values that they were elected to prioritize rather than partisan political maneuvering.  However, the emphasis of Speaker Adam's remarks were to take issue with Ari Kagan's lack of commitment to the policy priorities of the Democrat majority conference in the City Council, and how that lack of committment would  impact Kagan's committee assignments going forward from now into 2023.

That's what happens when some folks get all twisted in their extreme Democrat partisanship and try to pretend that they are being non-partisan. The result in this instance is that we can't tell on whose behalf "The Speaker" was really speaking  ---  and equally perplexing, to whom were her words directed,  and to what end ?????   Speaker Adams talked about the continuity of the Democrat conference in the City Council, and simultaneously stripping Kagan of his Council Committee assignments.  

Does Speaker Adams think that Democrat conference business and City Council business are one and the same thing ???????

Always remember  ---  the syntax of syntax is logic  ---  and this statement by "Hey ! Adrienne..." Adams ain't particularly meaningful 'cause it ain't particularly logical.

Then again, that's the effect of what Ari Kagan does and says seems to have on everybody.....

And thus be it ever.....
