Following the 2018 Pittsburgh synoguoge shooting, Mayor Bill de Blasio said places of worship did not need armed guards to practice their religion.
Yet he and other elected officials travel with armed guards.
During the podcast, the former NYPD officer and mayoral candidate said he wouldn't need a security detail if elected in 2021.
Podcast host: As mayor would you carry a firearm on you even with a security detail?
Eric Adams: Yes I will, number one, and number two, I won't have a security detail. If the city's safe, the mayor shouldn't have a security detail with him. He should be walking the street by himself.
