- New City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams is among the latest to decry a CUNY law school graduate’s “hate-filled” commencement speech.

- The comments were made May 12 by law grad Fatima Mousa Mohammed.
- Adams was at the public college’s commencement ceremony but left before the comments were made.
- Mohammed called for a “revolution” to rid the legal system of “white supremacy” while ripping the NYPD and claiming Israel carries out “indiscriminate” murder.
- Meanwhile, state GOP lawmaker are calling for CUNY to be defunded over the incident.
