From calling himself the "Biden of Brooklyn" to musing that rain "increases our population," New York City Mayor Eric Adams has had a lot of memorable remarks during his term as mayor.
Despite being federally indicted this week, Adams has insisted that we will not resign. The New York City mayor faces several charges, including bribery and wire fraud.
Here are a few of Adams' notable past quotes:
"We need a mayor of swagger," the Democratic mayor said as he referenced his governing style.
"I'm Gandhi-like," the New York City mayor said during a flag-raising ceremony that celebrated India's independence day. "I think like Gandhi. I act like Gandhi. I want to be like Gandhi."
"New York City is the Islamabad of America," Adams said during a flag-raising ceremony for Pakistan.
"I am the pilot, folks, and you are all passengers," Adams noted during a community meting. "Stop praying for me to crash the plane. Pray for me to land the plane because there's no parachutes on this plane. We're all going down together."
