Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday falsely labeled socialist Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani “a communist,” echoing one of Republican President Donald Trump’s frequent lines of attack against the City Hall frontrunner.
Hizzoner launched the broadside during an unrelated Wednesday news conference when asked why he thinks Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke — both of whom represent swaths of Brooklyn — did not endorse Mamdani after meeting with him on Tuesday.
