New York Mayor Eric Adams condemned the media for asking him about comparisons of former President Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, arguing they are out of touch with the American people.
At his weekly news conference at City Hall Tuesday, Adams bristled at questioning asking whether Trump is fascist, a line of criticism that has especially come to the fore after Trump’s recent rally in Madison Square Garden in New York.
« With all that’s going on, to everyday New Yorkers, we’re asking questions that, ‘Is someone a fascist or is someone a Hitler?’ That’s insulting to me. That is insulting », he said. « And I’m not going to engage in that. Everyone needs to turn down the rhetoric. Because after Election Day, we still have to be the United States and not the divided states. »
« And so, if people can’t understand there are real issues facing New Yorkers… and I just find it just humiliating that what everyday mom-and-pops are doing and going through across this country, that here we are having this conversation about this silly item », Adams continued.
