New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned the assassination attempt made on former president Donald Trump over the weekend and emphasized the need to cool down the political climate at his weekly scheduled press conference at City Hall on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The mayor lamented the effect social media and isolation has had on the nation\u2019s youth after the\u00a0attempt<\/a>\u00a0on Trump\u2019s life on Saturday, July 13, in Butler, Penn.\u00a0by Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, which left one dead and two in critical condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur children are being radicalized. They’re lonely. They’re on social media. They are in the corners of their home, and they’re being radicalized,\u201d said Adams. \u201cWe’re ignoring what is happening to these young people and the role that social media is playing\u2026We need to have a real plan to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
When asked whether blame should be placed on Trump himself for the nation’s highly polarized political environment, Adams said everyone had a role.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI think everyone has a role in the climate that we are living in right now. Everyone, and that includes me\u2026We all need to check ourselves,\u201d said Adams. \u201cI don’t want to go into, did he create the atmosphere? I want to know…What could I do and contribute to toning down the rhetoric in the city and country?\u201d<\/p>\n

The administration also offered more insight into the discovery of two cases of measles at the Hall Street emergency migrant shelter in Clinton Hill.<\/p>\n

The two individuals who tested positive were quarantined on the first floor and those showing any symptoms consistent with the disease were also isolated from everyone, according to city officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe immediately went into quarantine for people that had been exposed at the shelter\u2026We had clinicians talk to everybody to see how they were doing,\u201d said Ted Long,\u00a0senior vice president of Ambulatory Care and Population Health at NYC Health + Hospitals. \u201cWe really wanted to make sure that we were attending to people because this is a very scary thing. I\u2019m terrified of measles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city \u201coffered vaccines to anybody\u201d in the shelter, especially those within the window of exposure with the two infected individuals. More than 80% of people exposed to the measles cases at the shelter no longer needed to quarantine, according to Long.<\/p>\n

The city has screened 150,000 people for communicable diseases and has administered 75,000 vaccines to date for asylum seekers. Since the cases in the Brooklyn\u00a0shelter were revealed, no new cases of measles have been identified, city officials said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Adams also touted the positive outcome of the city’s enforcement of a minimum pay rate on third-party food delivery apps. Since December, delivery workers have earned $19.26 per hour on average, a 64% increase compared to last year, according to a\u00a0report from the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMoney back in the pockets of New Yorkers. A typical worker who does 20 hours a week, that’s an increase of at least $12,000 more per year in the pockets of workers,\u201d said Adams.<\/p>\n

Earnings per hour after tips rose from $11.72 to $19.26 over the past year.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
While addressing the recent announcement by Laura Kavanagh, the commissioner of the New York City Fire Department, who said she plans to\u00a0resign<\/a>, the mayor said it was sexist to think female leaders needed more support to be an effective leader at a male-dominated agency.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

No one questions a male leader if he needed more support when he leaves a position, the mayor said.<\/p>\n

“I want to get to a day in this city and country where if a woman decides to do something else with her life, she’s not all of a sudden saying, oh, you couldn’t cut it? It was too much for you? It was too hard for you? No, she wants to do something else with her life, like the men that left wanted to do something else with their life,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
