Eric Adams says Donald Trump is not a fascist
New York, NY – Eric Adams mayor of the Big Apple is setting himself apart from fellow Democrats as Donald Trump prepares to rally in deep-blue Manhattan.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday that he does not believe Donald Trump to be a fascist, defending the Republican presidential nominee ahead of his rally in the blue bastion.
It wasn’t the first time that the Democratic mayor has staked out common ground with Trump, and it came as little surprise. Adams has consistently differentiated himself from other Democrats by repeatedly declining to criticize the former president.
Adams called for the temperature to be turned down in the country’s political discourse and said Trump should be permitted to rally in Manhattan as a matter of free speech.
Like Trump, the mayor of the country’s biggest city has been indicted on federal charges and has alleged, without evidence, that he is the victim of political persecution by a retaliatory Biden administration. Trump expressed sympathy for Adams most recently at the recent Al Smith dinner in Manhattan, and Adams in the past has welcomed Trump’s support.
