Adams staffer fired after criticizing migrant response, cops who lost jobs over vaccine mandates: report
Fox News
New York City Hall staffer Christopher Baugh was fired after Project Veritas released clips showing him criticize police, as well as Mayor Eric Adams' handling of the migrant crisis.
Appearing unaware that he was being filmed, the subject identified as Baugh — who made headlines in July when he was robbed in Brooklyn while scoping out locations for a press conference — also describes Adams as "corrupt" and mocked the Democratic mayor’s alleged aspirations of the presidency and handling of the migrants bussed from Texas and other states. Migrants began moving into a Randall’s Island shelter this week. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"This was a low-level staffer who had no private or special access to the mayor and who wasn’t hired by this administration," Adams’ press secretary, Fabien Levy, said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "His comments today disparaging first responders are completely unacceptable, and we’ve terminated this employee effective immediately. Mayor Adams will always stand up for our first responders and have their backs."
