New York election campaign: Andrew Yang’s non-politician’s populist game

EAndrew Yang has taken his seat beneath, and he is already being given a verbal whistle. “We need a visionary, not a manager,” thunders Eric Adams into the microphone. Everyone in the hall knows who this is aimed at, namely: Yang. The former manager, in row four, watched the attack motionless, followed a few minutes later by the next insult, this time direct and brutal. Yang is now sitting on the podium, asking questions from a moderator. “Yang, you are a liar and a traitor,” yells a young man from the auditorium: “A liar! A traitor! You’re a shame for New York! ”Yang is silent while security forces force the shouter out of the room.
