‘Thank You For That Question,’ Responds Eric Adams To Swarm Of Rats He Forced To Act Out Debate

NEW YORK—Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to correct the record against his opponents, current New York City mayor and former candidate for reelection Eric Adams reportedly said “Thank you for that question” Thursday to a group of rats he had captured and forced to act out a private debate in his Gracie Mansion bedroom. “It’s interesting you ask me that, Mr. Moderator—I certainly would have to say that the best part of New York is its people,” said Adams, who paused to grab one of the rats he had sewn into a tiny suit and tie, repositioning it behind a small cardboard podium before it could scurry away. “What was that? Why, yes, I did have a wonderful trip to Albania. I met with many business leaders to discuss new opportunities for New York. I’m happy to talk about these things, unlike some of the politicians on this stage, who are too busy nibbling on their cheese cubes to bother answering your questions.” After the debate ended, sources confirmed Adams was furious with the poor polling among the cockroaches he had dressed up as constituents.
