Adams went live on Facebook on Wednesday night after images of him and other members posing with a firearm were highlighted at a City Council of Chambers meeting earlier in the day.

Hill-Lewis brought out receipts of the party allegedly “glamoursing gang violence” by posting pictures of them holding firearms during a council of chambers meeting.
