NYC Mayor Eric Adams mocked and ridiculed for bizarre comments about 911 terror attacks

New York City Mayor Eric Adams made mystifying comments about the 911 terror attacks and was mocked and ridiculed online mercilessly.

Adams made the comments in an interview with anchor Dan Mannarino of WPIX-TV on Sunday that was widely circulated on social media Monday.

"Mr. Mayor, we've come to the end of what was a very eventful 2023. So when you look at the totality of the year, if you had to describe it — and it's tough to do — in one word, what would that word be, and tell me why?" asked Mannarino.

“New York," Adams responded.

“This is a place where every day you wake up, you can experience everything from a plane crashing into our trade center to a person who’s celebrating a new business that’s open," he explained helpfully. "This is a very, very complicated city, and that’s why it’s the greatest city on the globe.”

Critics on social media were absolutely bewildered that Adams would cite a terror attack that killed nearly 3,000 Americans while trying to explain the greatness of his city.

"I have told people that Eric Adams was the dumbest person in American politics and they didn’t believe me. Now maybe they’ll believe me," responded Commentary editor John Podhoretz.

"Eric Adams really said this yesterday and I now have no more words to describe how absolutely awful he is," replied another critic.

"Mayor Eric Adams explaining how planes going through the trade center buildings help make New York an amazing place. I wish I was making this up lol," responded writer Adam Coleman.

"Every New Yorker knows planes crash into the NYC skyline as frequently as opening a new business. Maybe this should become the city's new slogan," read another mocking response.

Some also pointed out that "New York" is composed of two words, not one, as Mannarino asked.

Elsewhere in the interview, Adams blamed the federal government for the migrant crisis that has sapped resources from the city and cratered public support for his administration.
