Mayor Eric Adams blames Democrats for being apathetic about President-elect Donald Trump's victory, saying they are too busy comparing him to Hitler and debating real issues affecting Americans. He said he could not afford to do so.
Hitzoner was asked about President Trump's landslide victory over Vice President Harris in the five districts and the message voters are sending.
“Oh, with all my heart, I'm glad we stopped talking to people. We started talking to people,” Adams said. He told Fox News anchor Martha McCallum. on wednesday.
“When people are afraid for their finances, for losing their homes, for their children’s future, you’re not listening, you’re engaging in dialogue, you’re having intelligent conversations. People are like, what the hell are you talking about?
“It hurts. And you're asking, is Donald Trump Hitler or not?” Adams told McCollum. “It's just not responding to people's real needs.”
Trump did nearly 22 points better in the Bronx and Queens this election than he did in 2020. It also performed significantly in all other metropolitan areas, including Manhattan and Long Island.
Democrats, including then-vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, likened Trump to Hitler, but left-wing news networks such as MSNBC seized on the healthy bite that dominated the news cycle in the final weeks of the election. This was Hitler.
Adams also criticized the Biden administration's border policies, saying the immigrant gangbangers currently wreaking havoc in New York City have little to do with the Big Apple's sanctuary status.
“Sanctuary cities are very different from the man-made crises we have seen,” he told McCallum. “This is what Sanctuary City stands for: If you're in this city and you pay taxes, you buy a loaf of bread and you pay taxes. That's your taxes.” You have the right to receive services.
“As a sanctuary city, we are saying that if you are here and participating legally, you will be provided with services as you begin your path to citizenship and legal status. ,” he added.
“But this is not a safe haven for people who seek to commit criminal acts or harm immigrants, asylum seekers, and other New Yorkers.”
Just last week, Mr. Adams said he was considering using executive powers to target violent criminal immigrants and asylum seekers in the city, and he said he was considering using executive powers to target violent criminal immigrants and asylum seekers in the city after being charged with the crime and then being found guilty and sentenced. He announced his intention to deport the immigrants before the decision is made. Served the time.
The Democratic mayor facing federal corruption charges also defended his record since taking office two years ago and was ridiculed for wanting to focus on public safety and invest in cryptocurrencies. He later said he had proven his critics wrong.
“When I first started investing, I said I was going to invest in cryptocurrencies and people laughed at me. Who’s laughing now?” he says. I did. “And when I was first elected in 2022, I told the party that it was public safety. People are tired of a revolving door of people constantly committing violent crimes and putting them back on the streets.
“We ignored it.”
Earlier this week, President Trump said he would consider pardoning Adams because “he has been treated very unfairly.”
