NYC mayor joins Sharpton, Borelli, faith leaders to condemn political violence after Trump rally shooting
In a series of speeches organized by Rev. Al Sharpton, Mayor Eric Adams and City Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli spoke out alongside faith leaders against the normalization of political violence following Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
“He and I have debated for 35 years, but violence is wrong,” Sharpton said of Trump. “This is more than politics. This is whether or not we make this country where people don't want to practice getting in the political process because we've normalized violence.”“I don't care who you are in public life, your family is traumatized,” he said. “It will not end with everybody just saying words. This is something you will never ever get over.
“These algorithms that are drawing our young people into dark places,” Adams said, “ play on the most extreme level of us. The more volatile you are, the more hate you put out, the more likes you get, the more it feeds into the darkness of us.”Borelli defended the right to be angry at the political system, but drew a distinction when it leads violence.
