NYC Mayor Adams says Trump is not a ‘fascist’ during briefing on Madison Square Garden rally

New York City Mayor Eric Adams stated that the conversation around former President Donald Trump should be toned down, emphasizing that the current heated discussions must be manageable for future governance.
Adams strongly disagreed with claims calling Trump a fascist, saying that he knew what fascism looked like, asserting, “My answer is ‘No,’” in response to the criticism. He defended Trump’s right to hold a rally, stressing the importance of exercising free speech in America. The criticism towards Trump comes after comments by John Kelly, the former president’s chief of staff.
