NY Mayor Eric Adams: Calling Trump Hitler ‘Was an Insult to the Millions of Jews and Others Who Died’

EXCERPT:

HAINES: “So, mayor, when Trump returns to office --"
ADAMS: "Yes."
HAINES: "-- he will actually have a lot of power with a Republican-controlled Senate and House. He suggested at times using the National Guard to target the enemy within, and key members of his last administration called him a fascist. But you've defended him. Can you explain?"
ADAMS: "No, I defended the rhetoric that we're using across our country, and what our children are listening to and what we're doing. We've reached a point in this country where we no longer want to engage in conversation. They were even calling him Hitler. That's an insult to --"
BEHAR: "That was only his vice president. " (Laughter)
ADAMS: "That was an insult -- that was an insult to the millions of Jews and others who died. We know what Hitler did. And what I said to our country, when I'm on the streets talking to my young people who are protesting on college campuses, wearing Hamas signs and calling for the destructions of groups, I said, we have to bring down this rhetoric. We have to start engaging in conversation.”
