Adams also referenced a video posted by Mamdani parodying Hanukkah, which Adams cited as mocking the holiday, further fueling accusations of antisemitism against Mamdani. The mayor contrasted Mamdani&#8217;s unwillingness to apologize with his own approach, acknowledging mistakes during his tenure and apologizing for them publicly. Adams and Mamdani are set to compete in the upcoming New York City mayoral election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Eric Adams blasts Mamdani for &lsquo;unwillingness to apologize&rsquo; for controversies<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2169059\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed the Democratic nominee for mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has the flaw of not apologizing, even though he must &ldquo;maintain relationships with the international community.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3457806\/mamdani-globalize-the-intifada-jeffries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">repeatedly <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3457806\/mamdani-globalize-the-intifada-jeffries\/\">refused<\/a> to condemn the phrase, &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3448766\/mamdani-israel-beliefs-endorsement-agreement-brad-lander\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Globalize the intifada<\/a>,&rdquo; despite insisting he doesn&rsquo;t use it.
