Eric Adams on 9/11: We Have to Constantly Remind Our Young People that Enemies Both Foreign and Domestic Want to Hurt Us

‘A few years ago, they were celebrating Bin Laden and saying America deserves this’

EXCERPT:

ADAMS: “I think what we have forgotten is the importance of telling our history and our story. It breaks my heart when I watch the radicalization of our young people through social media and through commentary that they just don't understand. And we're seeing that radicalization every day. A few years ago, they were celebrating Bin Laden and saying America deserves this. We're watching this internal hate. And my role will always be not only when I was a police officer, but now as the mayor, I'm going to protect this country and city from all of our enemies, both foreign and domestic. That is the role that I'm going to be committed to. And I believe we have to constantly remind our young people this is the greatest country on the globe and we have enemies, both foreign and domestic, that want to hurt us."
