Eric Adams' message to Democrats on policing, crime: Big mistake allowing slogans to direct how we govern NYC
Fox News
Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Eric Adams had a stern message for his fellow Democrats Tuesday as he refuted the sloganeering by some in the party concerning policing and rises in violent crime.
"I believe that you can’t run cities based on slogans. And because you’re able to handle your Twitter handle does not mean you can handle the complexities of running the cities in America," Adams told co-host Meghan McCain after she asked if he agreed Democrats would lose elections if they kept pushing far-left policies like "defund the police." "We’ve allowed people to take terms and slogans to define what it means to be liberal, progressive, moderate, conservative. I don’t live by that. I’m a very complex person. Life is complex. I look at the issues and come up with real solutions to solve them," he added. "And I say to the Democratic Party, if you allow slogans to direct how we govern New York City, we’re going to make a big mistake. That can’t happen and I'm not going to allow that to happen in my city."More Related News
