At the Bronx Dominican Parade, Adams criticized Cuomo for resigning as governor in 2021 amidst sexual harassment allegations, contrasting it with his own handling of dismissed federal corruption charges. Adams emphasized his commitment to serving his term as mayor.
Cuomo Fires Back
Cuomo, serving as grand marshal at the Colombian Parade in Queens, countered by accusing Adams of prioritizing self-preservation over New Yorkers' interests, citing Adams' meeting with President Trump before his corruption case was dropped and his stance on sanctuary city policies in relation to the recent Department of Justice lawsuit.
