Mayor Eric Adams, at his weekly Q&A with reporters Tuesday, went after one of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s biggest selling points on the mayoral campaign trail — his management expertise.

“You mean the management he did with the nursing homes?” Adams said, referencing Cuomo’s directive during the pandemic that barred nursing homes from refusing to accept patients because they had COVID.

Adams continued, “Or probably the management he did with the bail reform, is that what you’re talking about? That caused the ruckus we’re facing? Is that good management?”

To put a point on it, Adams said being mayor is different than being governor.

“You can’t just hide out in a mansion,” he said.

Cuomo’s campaign spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, shot back with the message: “It is management, Mr. Mayor,” and listed Cuomo’s accomplishments, including a cap on state spending, building the Second Avenue subway and the new LaGuardia Airport.

“Desperate men — particularly one’s acting as an agent of Trump — say desperate things,” Azzopardi’s statement said.

Azzopardi is referencing Trump’s Justice Department dropping the corruption case against Adams, so the mayor is unencumbered to assist with immigration enforcement and crime.

Adams also had choice words for another Democratic candidate for mayor — socialist Zohran Mamdani, a state lawmaker who held a news conference earlier in the day about creating a new Department of Community Safety.

“I’m sorry ‘Defund The Police’ Mamdani believes all of a sudden he wants to talk about more community-based policing, something that, many of you know, I cut my teeth on this,” Adams told reporters. “They’re reinventing the wheel.”

Mamdani responded in a statement saying, “Eric Adams would rather resort to nicknames and lies than meaningfully deal with the public safety concerns of millions of New Yorkers.”

Adams had another question for reporters, how is Mamdani supposed to pay for this, anyway?

Mamdani said: “Raising revenues on the wealthiest New Yorkers and most profitable corporations across the state.”

Adams didn’t like that idea.

“How do you talk about affordability, then you talk about raising taxes — then, where does it stop?” Adams said.
