New York Mayor Eric Adams pushed back against questions about whether or not he believes former President Donald Trump is a fascist.

Adams previously said he does not view Trump as a fascist, saying he knows “what a fascist regime looks like.” However, when the Democratic mayor was pressed on the question again Tuesday, he called it “insulting” and contended that the country still needs to be “the United States and not the divided states” once the 2024 presidential election is over.
