"And when we ask politicians to take this seriously, all we get is a bunch of pearl-clutching… "

Gamaldi called on New York City Mayor Eric Adams to pledge to hold "these violent criminals, these degenerate dirtbags" accountable and put them in jail.
New Yorkers "expected a lot" from the former police captain Adams when they voted him into office, Pirro replied, adding that most New Yorkers are "very disappointed in him."
