"Mayor Adams Faces Pushback Over NYC Migrant Debit Card Program"

New York City Mayor Eric Adams clashed with The New York Post over a critical article about a $53 million contract for migrants, vehemently disputing its findings and defending the contractor, MoCaFi. Adams refuted claims of a prior relationship with MoCaFi's founder and criticized the article's inaccuracies, while his deputy mayor lamented the "inaccuracies" in the piece. The tabloid's political leanings and history of critiquing Democratic leaders added to the discomfort of the public fight, with Adams' team sowing enough doubt about the article to prompt its author to defend it on social media.
