The strangest line of the night went to Eric Adams: “We don’t want young people performing surgery to have a joint before that surgery”

Photos: Getty Images The third mayoral debate cut down on time and the number of candidates, dialing back to a much more manageable one-hour program featuring five of the race’s top candidates: Eric Adams, Andrew Yang, Kathryn Garcia, Maya Wiley, and Scott Stringer. As in the previous contests, the candidates discussed their policies and criticized the frontrunner, though several new targets appeared for the pols to lambast.
Wiley took a step back from the question, saying that New Yorkers want a “mayor who’s fully forthcoming and fully honest,” and that the opaqueness over where he sleeps at night is another reason voters shouldn’t trust him; she also cited testimony in which he forgot which donors were involved in an apparent pay-to-play scheme and his failure to disclose rent income as a landlord on the building in which he may or may not live.
The candidates weigh in on cannabis For many of the questions on Thursday night, the candidates responded with answers that were in relative harmony. Yes, the city should rename streets and buildings dedicated to slaveowners; no, NYPD officers should not have their guns taken away en masse. But when asked if apartment buildings should provide an option to shield people from second-hand marijuana smoke, the conversation went off the rails.
