Sharpton emphasized during his MSNBC appearance that Mayor Adams should be judged solely based on the outcome of any trial, arguing for a consistent application of rules for all politicians facing legal challenges.
Reflecting on the situation, Sharpton stated, "What we're saying is there must be one set of rules," highlighting the need for fairness in how politicians are treated amidst legal accusations.
Sharpton expressed his belief that the charges against Adams do not align with his character, asserting, "I do not feel that Eric Adams, who I've known for many years, is just a career criminal."
Amidst the backlash, Adams, accompanied by local black leaders, affirmed his determination to remain in office, indicating he was ready to confront the legal challenges ahead.
