Mayor Adams Stayed Overnight with the Asylum Seekers – Andrew Gounardes Did Not
Mayor Adams moved the new immigrants to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, which is in Gounardes District. These men were comfortable in a hotel in Manhattan, so they were not happy about living in the shared space at the Terminal.
Spent the coldest night of the year at Brooklyn Cruise Terminal with “Homeless Hero” and advocate Shams DaBaron & @AMEddieGibbs.

Gounardes and other liberals shared a statement on social media, without viewing the facilities. The Twitter politicians believe that putting up a message on social media is “doing something.”
Last night, dozens of asylum seekers destined for the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal relief center slept outside the Watson Hotel. Asylum seekers reported the center was freezing.

With redistricting, Andrew Gounardes now represents Bay Ridge to Downtown Brooklyn, rather than to Marine Park.
Mayor Adams spent the night on the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal with the new immigrants. He was joined by Assemblyman Eddie Gibbs. Andrew Gounardes was not willing to do that because it’s not easy like issuing a statement on social media. Instead, he tweeted:
Earlier that day, Andrew was playing with some other elected making a video running through the station. The politicians were complaining that they wanted a six minute wait for the train. All were clueless that the wait for a train is over twenty minutes in Bay Ridge – even Gounardes seemed clueless about that!
Today @Sen_Gounardes @Bobby4Brooklyn @JoAnneSimonBK52 and @ZohranKMamdani raced our own @betsyplum to the top of the Smith-9th St station to ask @GovKathyHochul to fund #6MinuteService and #FixtheMTA in the state budget.

If you need a senator who is going to play around instead of take action for the community, you have the right person with Gouardes.
