Woman who called out NYC Mayor Eric Adams on flight would do it again: ‘Call him out whenever we can’

The pro-Palestinian flyer who recorded herself brazenly confronting Mayor Eric Adams moments after boarding a New York-bound airplane last weekend said she had no qualms about giving Hizzoner several pieces of her mind — and would do it again in a heartbeat.

“I only wish it had come out more eloquently,” explained Alexis, who opened her verbal salvo against Adams with a “F–k you.”

In her first interview since video of the encounter went viral, Alexis — who refused to give her last name — recalled boarding her flight home Sunday after spending the weekend with friends in Miami.

“Just as I was walking down the aisle, I noticed a shiny, bald head and I was like, ‘That’s Eric Adams,'” Alexis said. “I obviously didn’t know he was going to be on my plane, so I had no time at all to think about what I was going to say. I just immediately took my phone out and started to film.”

In the 30-second footage, Alexis — who describes herself as a politically-inclined, lifelong New Yorker in her mid-30s — scolded Adams, saying he doesn’t “actually care about the citizens of New York.”

As she continued down the aisle toward her seat, Alexis blasted the mayor for being in Florida at a time when NYPD officers were detaining student protestors at Columbia University.

“People are homeless in New York,” she continued. “People cannot afford food. You keep cutting the education budget so that you can fund the police. That’s all you care about — funding the police. Everything is underfunded because of you.”

Adams, who was in Miami for the 2024 Concordia Americas Summit, motioned to the woman and muttered, “She can’t fly.”

Alexis was allowed to take her seat after briefly holding up the boarding passengers, and wasn’t ticketed or arrested for her outburst, she said.

“Our flight had already been delayed an hour, so I took my seat, but the rest of the flight was fine,” Alexis said. “I was trying to tell [the other passengers] ‘This is our mayor, you are suffering, and he had a hand in that. I was talking to the person next to me, who was from New Jersey, and didn’t even know who Eric Adams was. The flight attendants didn’t talk to me.

“We need to call him out whenever we can,” Alexis said.

“We have college students and faculty at Columbia being brutally arrested — getting maced and beat up,” she said. “He’s cut funding for teachers, and the libraries can’t open on Sundays because they’re underfunded. So many people are homeless, and so many people don’t get the mental healthcare they need. If none of these people can face peace, why in the hell does he deserve a single ounce of peace when he could do something to change it?”

She also criticized Adams for supporting Israel.

Speaking to Good Day New York Thursday, Adams suggested Alexis may have been intoxicated or mentally unfit.

“I am sober,” Alexis said.

“He resorted to calling me mentally ill because he can’t actually challenge me on anything I said,” she said.

Alexis said she’s withholding her last name, fearing for her personal safety. “But also, I don’t need the attention,” she said. “What needs attention are the issues I am speaking about. We have the money to solve these problems, but he’s just giving it all to the NYPD to create a military state.”
