Eric Adams breaks with fellow Democrats to praise Trump’s Maduro operation, citing fentanyl deaths as he clashes with successor over Venezuela policy.
Just two days after posting a social media video signaling his freedom from government office, former New York Mayor Eric Adams slammed fellow Democrats over their response to President Donald Trump’s operation to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Adams previously posted a video of himself with a cigar and what appeared to be bourbon, smiling as he lambasted the government as „slow as s—“ filled with people trying to throw „sand in the gears“ and predicting an „unforgettable, bada–, no bull—- 2026“ – before issuing a starkly different message on Maduro than his mayoral successor.
By the weekend, Adams followed through, openly weighing in by thanking Trump for „hit[ting] the cartels where it hurts“ through Maduro’s detention and sharply criticizing former Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Joe Biden’s approach to the Venezuelan strongman.
„I have seen firsthand how Nicolás Maduro destroyed Venezuela and turned it into a narco-state.
