New York City Mayor Eric Adams apologized Friday after a video surfaced showing him calling white NYPD officers a racist slur during an event in 2019.

A video obtained by several news outlets showed Adams, a Democrat, telling people at a private event that “every day in the police department, I kicked those crackers’ [expletive].”
