Gov. Hochul and other pols gave Mayor Adams the cold shoulder at Saturday’s Labor Day Parade following a series of stunning federal raids targeting members of his inner circle and their kin this week — while a heckler tore into Hizzoner over the multiple probes into his administration.
“FBI, Mayor Adams is right here!” the female spectator hollered as the march crossed West 46th Street and 5th Avenue.
“He’s right here and he probably has his cell phone with him! Come get him!” the woman continued.
Adams didn’t acknowledge the rabble-rouser, who then seethed to others in the crowd: “God, I hate the mayor.”
Democratic pols — including Gov. Hochul, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Sen. Chuck Schumer and city Comptroller Brad Lander — made sure to keep their distance from the mayor during the parade along Fifth Avenue.
Marching at the front of a group of dignitaries, James and Hochul appeared cozy with one another, smiling and laughing, while Adams, ironically wearing a navy blue LOVE ballcap, sulked near the rear, several rows back, surrounded by his security detail.
At one point he was about 25 feet away from Hochul, who was also seen flanked by Manhattan and Queens Borough Presidents Mark Levine and Donovan Richards Jr.
Adams, meanwhile, was seen chatting up NYC Central Labor Council President Vincent Alvarez during the march.
During a photo op moments before the parade kickoff, Hochul and Adams exchanged zero chit-chat, and flanked opposite sides of a group that had gathered for a photo.
At last year’s parade, Hochul and Adams marched a few feet apart.
The ice cold treatment comes just days after federal investigators hit members of Adams’ inner circle along with the NYPD in a shocking series of raids.
On Wednesday, federal agents raided the home of Police Commissioner Edward Caban, whose twin brother, a shady former NYPD sergeant, is also being probed by investigators for his alleged worker as a “fixer” for a swanky nightlife spot, sources said.
James Caban, 56, allegedly helped with massaging any issues between business and cops over violations, and was hit with a search warrant and subpoena by the feds as well, according to sources.
Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York are leading the investigation — who are probing Adams’ top aides along with a separate investigation into the mayor’s 2021 campaign funding, sources said.
Other top Adams officials who were hit by raids this week include Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks as well as Schools Chancellor David Banks and First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, according to law enforcement sources, who said the feds showed up with search warrants and seized their electronic devices.
The feds also subpoenaed the phones of another Adams aide, retired NYPD inspector Timothy Pearson, sources said.
Asked about the federal investigations, James declined to comment, while Hochul ran from a Post reporter trying to inquire about the probes.
The mayor reaffirmed to a Post reporter that he was standing by his top cop amid calls for Caban to resign after the raid on his home, urging New Yorkers to let the investigation play out.
“We are a strong believer in what this country stands for — due process,” he said. “Let the process play out.”
Hizzoner, meanwhile, brushed off concerns about New Yorkers losing faith in his administration over the myriad investigations that have piled up entangling his officials and close associates.
“The real test of a person is…are you able to continue to progress even when there are a lot of things going on around you?” he told The Post. “I have shown I have the ability to do so.
“Ten months ago we first learned of the Turkish review that was taking place, it didn’t stop us from moving our city forward,” he added, referring to the federal probe launched last year into his 2021 mayoral campaign. “We are always going to survive.”
