Several times during Thursday’s Democratic primary debate on NY1, Maya Wiley sought to use Eric Adams' own words against him.
It started with this: "Eric, you were a self-described conservative Republican when Rudy Giuliani was mayor."
That quote came from a 1999 New York Times profile, but on Friday his campaign said Adams never said that. A campaign spokesman said the Times reporter conflated the fact that Adams said he was conservative on crime with the fact he was, at the time, a registered Republican.
