NYC Mayor Adams faces backlash for 'Mein Kampf' remarks amid resignation calls

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing significant backlash after he compared calls for his resignation to 'Mein Kampf' during a recent rally. He stated, 'If you tell a lie long enough, loud enough, people will tend to believe it’s true,' echoing a concept from Adolf Hitler's controversial manifesto. Critics, including fellow Democrats and Jewish leaders, condemned his remarks as offensive and disgraceful, with City Comptroller Brad Lander labeling it a 'shande' and former Comptroller Scott Stringer calling it 'unacceptable.' Adams has resisted calls to step down despite growing pressure and is preparing for a competitive Democratic primary in June. His comments have sparked outrage particularly among New York's Jewish community, which constitutes the largest outside of Israel. The controversy highlights the political tensions surrounding Adams amidst corruption allegations and challenges to his leadership.
