A rally held by New York City Mayor Eric Adams took a bizarre turn Monday afternoon, as he compared his current circumstances to Mein Kampf.
Yes, THAT Mein Kampf.
The strange mention of Adolf Hitler's autobiography came as Adams addressed a crowd of supporters (at a church, no less) regarding the furious opposition he now faced from his own political party that was trying to get rid of him.
From the New York Post:
During his remarks, Adams also claimed he once heard Martin Luther King, Jr. recite a quote from Hitler's infamous Nazi manifesto, Mein Kampf, that went something like, 'If you tell a lie long enough, loud enough, people will tend to believe it's true.'
'And that's what you're seeing right there, right now: A modern-day Mein Kampf,' Adams told his supporters, appearing to imply he was being persecuted by liars.
The best part? That quote isn't even in Mein Kampf.
(It has instead been attributed to Joseph Goebbels, who was also horrible, to put it lightly.)
Despite President Trump's Department of Justice calling for the corruption charges against him to be dropped, the embattled NYC mayor is facing growing calls for him to resign, as well as a new threat from New York Governor Kathy Hochel to remove him from office.
Adams has vowed to stay the course and fight all attempts to force him out.
Even if he has to hole up in a bunker to the bitter end.
