Eric Adams: “They considered themselves to be sovereign.”

“You look at this pattern of politicizing that office. You know what the most interesting thing that came out of that office that really shocked me that people don't want to talk about. They considered themselves to be sovereign. That's what they said. They said, we're sovereign. There's no entity in this country that's sovereign. There's no constitutional amendment that said that you're sovereign. Absolute power abuses absolute power all the time.” (18:04–18:08)
