NYC Mayor Eric Adams defends Trump on The View

The hosts on the show slammed Trump for bringing on Kennedy as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, and then asked Adams what he thought of the pick, to which he said, "Executives will nominate and bring in those who they believe will move their vision forward," even though he disagreed with a possible proposal from Kennedy to remove fluoride from water.

Adams added that he did agree that there are widespread issues with health in the United States having to do with food having to do with hormones and chemicals and recounted how he almost got diagnosed with diabetes because of the things that he ate.

He then spoke about his law enforcement experience, saying that if there was a new police commissioner that would come in that he "disagreed with" that he was not going to resign as a result. He then defended Trump when it came to rhetoric that has been used against him to label the president-elect as "Hitler" and a "fascist."

"We've reached a point in this country where we no longer want to engage in conversation. They were even calling him Hitler," Adams told the hosts. Ana Navarro hit back at Adams about the concern, but he continued.

"That was an insult to the millions of Jews and others who died. We know what Hitler did and what I said to our country, when I'm on the streets talking to my young people who are protesting on college campuses, wearing Hamas signs and calling for the destruction of groups. I said, we have to bring down this rhetoric,” he added.
