Mayor Eric Adams has urged Staten Island DA Mike McMahon to consider prosecuting ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani for allegedly filing a false police report, to which Giuliani responded by calling for Adams to quit over the city’s crime crisis.
“[Giuliani] falsely reported a crime and the DA should take that seriously,” Hizzoner said during an appearance on the “The Daily Show” Tuesday night, where he both mocked and scorned Giuliani in the ongoing spat between the two.
“You don’t realize. You just assaulted me,” Adams deadpanned after host Trevor Noah embraced him upon entrance — a clear dig at the former mayor.
Giuliani was chatting with locals after returning from the men’s room at the Staten Island ShopRite on Sunday when store worker Daniel Gill came up behind him and slapped him on the back, video of the incident shows. The former two-term mayor and legal adviser to Donald Trump was stumping for his son, Andrew, who was running in the Republican primary for governor.
Gill, 39, was initially charged with second-degree assault in the incident — although the charges were downgraded to third-degree harassment and harassment. Giuliani said he felt like “someone shot me” when Gill slapped him on the back from behind, while video surveillance showed a brief and not violent encounter.
“That person that he falsely reported spent 24 hours in jail. That’s not acceptable,” said Adams, continuing criticism he first leveled earlier Tuesday at the man hailed as “America’s Mayor” following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack.
Adams then referenced the case of Amy Cooper — the Central Park “Karen” who sparked international outrage in 2020 when she called the cops on a black birdwatcher who asked her to leash her dog. She falsely claimed in a second 911 call that he tried to assault her.

Adams sure has his finger on the pulse...
New Yorkers are going after anyone who is even remotely affiliated with Trump....and they’re coming after us too. Just as Trump said they would.
Hi.
I guess “equal protection” under the law refers to democrats only.
Right, Hillary?

New Yorkers should have voted for Curtis Sliwa. Eric Adams ran a fake campaign..
Keep your head down and remain distracted. maybe they’ll miss us.
And to think those dumb bastard New Yorkers could have had Curtis Sliwa as mayor instead of this (fill in the blank).
How did this idiot ever get to be Mayor?
I didn’t think anyone could be worse than DeBlasio. But whereas DeBlasio was a thieving incompetent communist, Adams just seems to be a garden variety idiot and jackass.
Bingo. Seems his claims of being effective at leadership are fraudulent.
Rudy Giuliani should consider moving out of NYC until the communists are gone. It’s a hellhole.
Adam’s. What a POS.
I think NYCites are too brain dead to even realize what a tool this Eric Adams thug is.
They don’t have the mindset skills to appreciate a candidate like Curtis.
What a wasted effort that was.

Adams is both ignorant and stupid.
DeBlasio was just stupid.
(for allegedly filing a false police report)
Sounds like slander.
“How did this idiot ever get to be Mayor?”
Well, when you’re as bad as Adams in a one party Democrat city but your two Dem opponents in the primary are named Worse and Worst, you win the roller derby
Oh, blow it out your ear, Adams! NOW you want to prosecute someone?? You can start by telling your D.A. to prosecute REAL criminals!
And a city where only 10-15% of the possible voters ever bother to even vote in mayoral elections
