Eric Adams criticizes Dems for comparing Trump to Hitler

Mayor Eric Adams blamed out-of-touch Democrats for President-elect Donald Trump’s victory — saying they were too busy comparing him to Hitler to discuss real issues affecting the American people.

Hizzoner was asked about Trump Conquer Vice President Harris In five boroughs and the message they thought was sending constituents.

“Oh, with all my heart, that we stopped talking to people. We started talking to people,” Adams Fox News anchor Martha McCallum said On Wednesday.

“Not listening to people and you’re having a conversation, while people are fearing affordability, losing their homes, losing their children’s future, and you’re having these intellectual conversations, and people are saying Are you, what are you talking nonsense about?

“I am in pain. And you are asking, is Donald Trump Hitler or not?” Adams told McCallum. “It’s not speaking to people’s real needs.”

Trump performed about 22 percentage points better in The Bronx and Queens in this election than in 2020. They also saw huge gains in every other city, including Manhattan and on Long Island.

democrat Including then-Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz Comparisons of Trump to Hitler — which dominated the news cycle in the final weeks of the election, as left-leaning news networks like MSNBC emphasized the sound bite.

Adams also criticized the Biden administration’s border policies, saying the migrant gangbangers now wreaking havoc in New York City have nothing to do with the Big Apple’s sanctuary status.

“Sanctuary cities are unlike any other man-made crisis we’ve seen,” he told McCallum. “This is what sanctuary cities say: If you’re in this city and you’re paying taxes, you buy a loaf of bread, you pay taxes, those are your tax dollars. You have a right to city services.

He said, “We are saying that, as a sanctuary city, if you are here and you are participating legally, services are provided to you as you begin your path to citizenship or legal status. Are.”

“But it is not a safe haven for people who are committing criminal acts or trying to harm migrants, asylum seekers and other New Yorkers.”

Just last week, Adams said he was considering it Using his executive powers to target violent criminal immigrants And the city has expressed a willingness to deport asylum seekers — and migrants after they have been charged with a crime but before they are convicted and serve their time.

The Democrat mayor, who is facing federal corruption charges, also defended his record since taking over at City Hall two years ago, saying his focus on public safety and willingness to invest in cryptocurrencies. After making fun of him for this, he proved the critics wrong.

“When I first started I said I was going to invest in cryptocurrencies, people laughed at me. Who’s Laughing Now?” He said. “And when I’m first elected in 2022, I told the party it’s public safety. People are tired of the revolving door where people continue to commit violent crimes and come back onto our streets.

“We ignored it.”

Earlier this week, Trump said he would consider pardoning Adams because “he was treated very unfairly.”
