Mayor Eric Adams criticized Zohran Mamdani's longstanding advocacy for decriminalizing prostitution, challenging Mamdani's understanding of religious texts related to the issue. Adams argued that legalizing sex work would ignore the realities of sex trafficking and harm vulnerable individuals. He expressed disapproval of Mamdani's views, stating they jeopardize city safety, and reaffirmed his commitment to combating crime related to prostitution. Adams highlighted the need for a safe environment and questioned the ethical stance of supporting legal prostitution in light of ongoing exploitation.
Mayor Eric Adams expressed strong opposition to Zohran Mamdani's push to decriminalize prostitution, emphasizing the religious and ethical implications of the issue. He stated, "I can't be more clear. I'm a man of God, just as Mamdani says he's a Muslim. I don't know where in his Quran it states that it's ok for a woman to be on the streets selling their body." Adams views Mamdani's stance as neglecting the serious issues of sex trafficking and safety for vulnerable populations.
Adams further articulated his concerns, stating, "You're not doing any service to a woman who is on the street who is forced to sell her body for whatever reason." He underscored that Mamdani's advocacy for legalizing sex work fails to acknowledge the reality of those exploited in the industry. According to Adams, such beliefs present a danger to the city's safety.
