Nice try. Once again false and inaccurate about the direct relationship between the two mayors with this selective framing. Your reply focused on the part about the aides and the broader administration, not the direct relationship between the two mayors, which is what the title of this post is inferring. If you updated it to "deBlasio administration aides" per the article, then yes, it would be accurate. This is a key problem with Adams's critics with this selective framing that's not helpful and quite problematic in many ways.

"Mr. de Blasio said in a statement on Wednesday night that he had spoken to Mr. Adams earlier in the day and that he understood how difficult it was to govern the city and wanted him to succeed.“I sympathize with his frustration with certain critics but want to emphasize this: No one speaks for me but me,” Mr. de Blasio said."

"Mr. Adams said that Mr. de Blasio had been “extremely helpful” and that his frustration was directed at others from his administration who wanted to see Mr. Adams fail."
