NEW YORK — In a video circulating on social media, a young woman accosted Mayor Eric Adams on a flight to Miami on Sunday, accusing him of “supporting the genocide in Palestine” and “partying all the time.”

Adams flew to Miami for the 2024 Concordia Americas Summit, a gathering of public officials and businesspeople from North America and Latin America, the conference website said.

“Yeah, f–k you!” the woman shouted. “You support the genocide in Palestine. There are homeless people all over New York.”

Adams said nothing, but his expression visibly soured as the woman’s rhetoric escalated, according to the 35-second video.

“But you’re always partying,” she continued. “You don’t actually care about the citizens of New York. Why are you going to Miami? You know there are people being arrested. There are homeless.

“People cannot afford food. You keep cutting the education budget so you can fund the police. That’s all you care about — funding the police. Everything is underfunded because of you.”
