Eric Adams considers it “despicable” that American schools allow another flag to be flown

During a press conference, Adams He became enraged when he was shown several videos where students from Columbia University and the City College of New York replaced an American flag with a Palestinian one.

“That’s our flag, friends. You don’t take over our buildings and put up another flag. That may be okay for other people, but it’s not okay for me.“, he expressed.

Then, The 63-year-old politician stated that the way in which some university students were demonstrating could be interpreted as an insult to those who have defended the interests of the nation at the mercy of even surrendering their existence.

“My uncle died defending this country and these men and women risked their lives, and it is despicable that schools allow another country’s flag to fly in our country.
