With the presidential election just two weeks away, Mayor Eric Adams faced questions about his relationship with both candidates, days after Donald Trump compared his legal problems to those of the mayor.
Mayor Adams has not missed a single Q&A session. He's continued to hold his free-wheeling, open-forum with reporters, even while fighting COVID, and even after his indictment on federal bribery charges.
"I know what it's like to be persecuted by the DOJ for speaking out against open borders. We were persecuted, Eric," Trump said."This is the season when the silliness comes into politics," Adams said."New Yorkers need to hear the issues. And I'm just not going to get back and forth on comments that are made on both sides," he said.
"Whatever the campaign needs me to do, I'm willing to do. But I'm not-I'm not campaigning here, right now. I'm dealing with running this amazing city," he said."If any of you have another Trump question, you should save it because I'm not wasting my time on that anymore," Adams said.
