NEW YORK — The New York City Hall version of fire and brimstone rained down Friday as protesters blasted Mayor Eric Adams over his remarks dismissing the separation of church and state.
Local religious leaders and community activists criticized Adams in a protest outside the mayor’s Manhattan office, insisting the city’s top elected official was way off base with his remarks dismissing the notion of a clear line of demarcation laid out by the nation’s Founding Fathers.
“He said that he was a servant of God,” said Rabbi Emily Cohen. “And I wanted to assert that Mayor Adams was a servant of those who elected him.”
