Former President Donald Trump thanked Mayor Adams for making his blockbuster rally at Madison Square Garden possible.
“We want to thank Mayor Adams,” Trump said. “[He] is going through a hard time with these people.”
“Mayor Adams [is] being treated badly,” Trump further contended, noting Adams’ criticism of the migrant crisis. “I predicted he’d be indicted for saying that, and now they’ve indicted him.”
There is no evidence Adams was indicted for his concerns about the migrant crisis.
The crowd did not seem very receptive to the overture toward Adams. Virtually no one cheered at the shoutout and some boos were audible.
