I like understanding why people are making things up.

Edit: sorry, I was a bit snarky there and I shouldn't have been. I was in fact splitting a hair there; it's a useful one for me but it's far from obligatory.



What lies has Eric Adams said?


He lies constantly. Like, he lives in New Jersey and pretends to live in NYC. He pretends to be a vegan.

Also continually uses strange phrases in speeches that he made up, like "all your haters will be waiters when you sit down at the table of success", or saying "New York City is the Dublin/Istanbul/Port au Prince of America" whenever he's talking to an a cultural group.


He's currently indicted for criminal fraud. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/25/nyregion/eric-adams-...


He’s a former cop and a current politician, I’d be surprised if anything he says publicly is true.


Not sure why you got downvoted, no one familiar with either profession can argue that it’s not a part of being a cop or a politician


He's a compulsive liar.

To give you one specific - he lied about accidentally firing a gun at school and then he claimed that a book that is available for purchase "never got to print."
