Mayor Eric Adams is being criticized after hosting antisemitic influencer Sneako, who has previously proclaimed “down with the Jews,” for a friendly sit-down interview at Gracie Mansion.
Sneako, real name Nicolas “Nico” Kenn De Balinthazy has been banned from Twitch for his “extreme hateful conduct.”
He sat down with hizzoner and controversial influencer Amber Rose for cigars and a chat at his official residence on the Upper East Side.
Rep. Richie Torres (D-NY) quickly slammed Adams for meeting with the influencer.
“The Mayor is smoking cigars at Gracie Mansion with Sneako—yet another antisemite, who once declared: ‘Down with the Jews,’ Torres, who represents the Bronx, wrote on X.
“Who’s next on the guest list — David Duke?”
Sneako has been condemned in the past for his praise of Andrew and Tristan Tate, the controversial influencers who face multiple charges of sexual assault and trafficking in Europe, and also for his antisemitic posts.
Sneako previously declared, “Down with the Jews! Free Palestine” and “Every ‘conspiracy theory’ from the last century is just Israel,” during a livestream last year, according to the group Stop Antisemitism.
The Mayor’s Office did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
