“#Sharpton praises Eric Adams after daughter’s mayoral endorsement<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton talked up Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams\u2019 bid for the mayoralty a day after his daughter, Ashley, endorsed him.<\/p>\n

Sharpton, whose endorsement could be a key in the crowded field to replace Mayor Bill de Blasio, said Adams is right to focus on both public safety and cracking down on police abuses.<\/p>\n

Sharpton noted that Adams, who founded the group 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement, helped launch the National Action Network he heads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are five people who co-signed the incorporation papers for the National Action Network. One of them was a police officer named Eric Adams,\u201d Sharpton told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cEric\u2019s background as a police officer is not a negative with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharpton said many people may not know that he goes to many funerals for young people killed by gun violence, not just from police abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrime is a concern for us. We are concerned about violence in our community as well as police brutality,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are not anti-police. We are anti-police brutality.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the preacher swatted down speculation that daughter Ashley\u2019s endorsement of Adams was a trial balloon to see if there would be any backlash from it, and whether it would be prudent to follow suit and back the current Brooklyn borough president in the June 22 Democratic primary.<\/p>\n

Adams, during the endorsement announcement with Ashley, quipped that he would cry like a baby if he didn\u2019t get papa Sharpton\u2019s endorsement.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter is 33 years old and has a mind of her own. She\u2019s known Eric her whole life. I\u2019m glad she cares about our city like I do,\u201d Sharpton said<\/p>\n

He said he will make a decision on an endorsement in early June, which could be endorsing one candidate, providing a ranked choice of his preference or staying officially neutral.<\/p>\n

Sharpton emphasized that personal ties alone don\u2019t translate into him endorsing a candidate. In 2013, he declined to endorse old pal Bill Thompson in the Democratic primary for mayor. The snub provided a boost to surging rival de Blasio, who campaigned on curbing stop and frisk, won the primary and was was elected mayor.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
