The Rev. Al Sharpton defended Mayor Eric Adams after the bombshell federal criminal charges — and warned that Hizzoner’s removal would be a sign of a political double standard.
Adams should only be judged by the outcome of a potential trial, argued Sharpton during a Friday morning MSNBC appearance.
Other prominent pols such as New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez were allowed to stay in office while they battled the feds in court, Sharpton noted.
“He shouldn’t be removed,” he said.
“What we’re saying is there must be one set of rules.”
Adams surrendered to the feds Friday on criminal charges accusing him of taking bribes from Turkish nationals and defrauding $10 million in public matching campaign funds from taxpayers.
