Stringer asked whether his accuser is a "liar," doesn't answer directly.
"I believe that women should be heard … and then facts kick in ... There have been inconsistencies and I deny the allegations."
Stringer even references new @theintercept piece: theintercept.com/2021/06/02/nyc…

Stringer says that the administrative staff at NYPD HQ (1 Police Plaza) is where you can wring savings.
"We could take some of that money, disperse it to the precincts."
"We could take some of that money, disperse it to the precincts."
Centrists like Adams and even @SalAlbaneseNYC have said that there is bloat at the top of the NYPD.
The difference between them and the lefties is that they wouldn't cut net spending -- they'd redirect the money to recruitment, pay, etc.

Morales, a self-described proponent of school choice as recently as Feb. 2020, now relishes laying into charters.
"We need to prioritize and focus on improving the quality of our public school system," she says -- as opposed to charters though they're technically public too.

Yang still says @KGforNYC is his second choice on the ranked-choice ballot after taking some veiled jabs at her recently.
All candidates are asked whether they would take an endorsement from de Blasio and/or Cuomo.

Pretty much all of them have kind words for the adoption of universal pre-K though.

Adams is maybe the funniest candidate?
Adams delivers a rambling attack against Yang disguised as a question, hitting Yang for leaving at the start of the pandemic, not voting in municipal elections, failing to deliver on jobs through his nonprofit.
"You can't run from the city, Andrew, if you want to run the city."

Yang notes that Adams has repeatedly been investigated for corruption.
"You've achieved the rare trifecta" of being investigated by the local, state, and federal governments ...

... Yang blasts Adams for advising people to individually confront people set off illegal fireworks.
One woman, who was killed while confonting someone, had been following Adams' lead, according to her mom. nypost.com/2020/07/19/bro…
