New York Dems Slam NYC Mayor, Governor’s Policies After Lethal Stabbing Spree

A slew of Democrats slammed Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul in the wake of a stabbing spree which killed three people.

Democratic New York Rep. Ritchie Torres, Democratic New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York City Councilman Keith Powers and Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine demanded answers as to why Ramon Rivera was a free man when he allegedly stabbed three people on Nov. 18, according to multiple sources. Rivera was out on bail for a grand larceny charge the day of the incident and had been arrested eight times prior for various offenses.

“I am writing to express alarm at the complicity of the State and the City in the murder of three New Yorkers, who were savagely stabbed to death in a homicidal rampage that took hold in broad daylight,” Torres said in a Sunday letter shared with the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. “The worst offender is NYC DOC , which made the inexplicable and inexcusable decision to release Ramon Rivera early, enabling him to serve only 9 months of a 12-month sentence.”

The New York DOC let Rivera out on supervised release, contingent upon his promise to appear at his Dec. 4 court date, according
