I’ll say this for the 21st century: American losers in elections throw tantrums.
Eric Adams has obtained citizenship and a passport from Albania, according to reports on Friday from the Balkan country which received effusive compliments from him during a visit there months earlier.
The Albania Daily News first reported that the former New York City mayor had requested both and was granted them by a special decree from the republic’s president, Bajram Begaj. A spokesperson for Adams confirmed that development in a statement distributed to the news media, and it was evidently chronicled in Albania’s official government journal.
“I decree granting citizenship … upon … Eric Leroy Adams,” read an English translation of the journal entry, signed by Begaj. “This decree shall enter into force immediately and shall be published in [the] official gazette.”
Adams had previously earned news headlines by travelling to Albania for four days in October toward the end of his time as mayor of one of the world’s largest, most important cities.
“Oh, you didn’t support my campaign? Fuck you; I’m moving to Albania.”
As any reasonable adult does.
