New York City Mayor Eric Adams slammed former President Trump's historic Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday for promoting "hateful words" from an invited guest speaker, despite Trump's favorable shoutout to the mayor during the massive rally.
"And you know who I want to thank?" Trump said Sunday evening from the sold-out arena. "Mayor Adams. Because Mayor Adams has been treated pretty badly. You know, when he said that this whole thing with the migrants coming into New York, this is just not sustainable. You know, we can’t do it. We’re trying to run a city, we got 100,000 migrants coming. We can’t do it, we just can’t do it, it’s not feasible, it’s not good."
"He said it very nicely," Trump continued. "I said, ‘Well, he’s going to be indicted by these lunatics for saying that.’ A year later, he got indicted."
Fox News Digital reached out to Adams' office for reaction to the shoutout, inquiring if the mayor agreed with Trump's comments and for reaction to the rally overall. Adams' office directed Fox Digital to a post from the mayor lambasting the event for the use of "hateful words," seemingly referring to a comedian who joked about Puerto Rico ahead of Trump's speech.
