NYC Mayor Eric Adams BLASTS Texas congresswoman who took out full page ad telling Big Apple cops to move to Texas to avoid being attacked by criminals

Texas congresswoman Beth Van Duyne clearly seems to have hit a nerve with her full page newspaper ad offering New York's finest a safe haven in the Lone Star State. 

Mayor Eric Adams blasted her today at his daily briefing, holding up the newspaper ad in question and telling her to worry about her own city before coming after his. 

Van Duyne's ad, published in The New York Post, read: 'Escape New York and move to Texas. 

'You should no longer put your careers and lives in the hands of politicians who couldn't care less about you or your families.' 

She was referring to the repeated attacks on NYPD officers by criminals, many of whom are released hours after being arrested thanks to the city's laxed bail lawyers. 

Adams, a former cop himself, was incensed. 

'We had a recruitment in the New York Post today— one of my favorite blue collar papers,' Adams said while holding a copy of the paper.

New York Mayor Eric Adams held up Duyne's ad at a press event, claiming New York is a safer city than Dallas, the closest big city to the congresswoman's district 

Texas Rep. Beth Van Duyne, a Republican who represents Irving, a Dallas suburb, took out the ad in a New York City newspaper. 

He went on to suggest that Dallas has a higher crime rate than New York, cherry-picking murder rates and other crime stats to help his case. 

'What she should be doing is telling some of her officers to go over to Dallas to deal with the violence!' he fumed. 

Irving, Duyne's district, was named the 14th safest small city in America in 2022 by the FBI, which takes into account all violent crime, not just one metric, like murders. 

Several other Texas cities like Fort Worth and Plano (a Dallas suburb) and border towns El Paso and Laredo also made the list.  

'New York has implemented disastrous policies that are purposefully anti-law and order and have led to death and destruction,' the Republican congresswoman tweeted Tuesday.'

'In Texas, we back the blue and welcome good officers who want to come protect the Lone Star State!'

Duyne's bulletin also took shots at the Big Apple's lax bail system, which has been blamed for not keeping bad guys behind bars.

Diller, 31, was a New York Police Department officer who was allegedly shot and killed by suspect Guy Rivera, 34, on Monday evening

'Your lives don’t have to be endangered by violent career criminals who are never locked away,' it reads. 

'You don’t have to be beaten on the streets by gangs of illegal immigrant criminals.

'And you don’t have to be endlessly insulted by budget cuts by Defund the Police politicians.'

Several migrants who were caught on camera beating two New York cops were arrested and inexplicably released by NYC's DA Alvin Bragg.  

The death of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller who was shot during a traffic stop in Far Rockaway, Queens last month was tied to a repeat offender. 

Guy Rivera, 34, previously spent 10 years in prison on various charges, including assault, drug convictions and hate crime charges, according to authorities. 

The driver has more than 20 priors, including a gun charge from April 2023, according to a local station.

The newspaper ad also includes information for how to apply to 15 police departments in the Dallas area.
