In his most bizarrely phrased answer to date, Eric Adams made a gaffe that would make even Joe Biden blush when he cited hijacked planes flying into buildings as one of the things that makes New York City the greatest city in the world.
As the New York Post reported:
Mayor Eric Adams surprised several social media users after referencing the World Trade Center terror attacks in his description of why New York City is the “greatest city on the globe.”
Adams spoke with host Dan Mannarino on WPIX-TV’s “PIX on Politics” on Sunday when the latter asked the mayor what word he would use to describe 2023.
“New York. This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our Trade Center to a person who’s celebrating a new business that’s open. This is a very, very complicated city, and that’s why it’s the greatest city on the globe,” Adams replied.
Of all the things he could’ve listed, a terror attack that killed 3000 people (and an equal number of deaths in the years that followed due to illnesses caused by the attacks) naturally struck everyone else as insane.
This may go down as the worst answer of 2023. https://t.co/TlRAxJMUOK

Legitimately the most bananas answer to any question ever. Eric Adams really framed 9/11 as a positive thing for New York City https://t.co/meV7iUYOXm

In the same interview, Adams was asked to summarize 2023 in one word.
“New York,” he replied, which is two words.
