Adams attended Trump's inauguration, canceling MLK Day events. The decision raised eyebrows among Democrats who have been critical of his policies.

Mayor Eric Adams is defending his decision to attend the inauguration​, even though he canceled appearances at several Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day events.

Adams was never shy about what he believed in, he just played to the right (wealthy) New Yorkers. He made them fear their city and promised to save them from it during the months they hadn’t escaped to Florida.
