NEW YORK \u2014 Mayor Eric Adams took aim at one of Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters Monday as he tried to quell safety concerns ahead of the former president\u2019s arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, while you\u2019re in town, be on your best behavior,\u201d Adams said at a City Hall press conference about security preparations around Trump’s court appearance.<\/p>\n
Trump left his Florida residence<\/a>on a private plane headed for New York Monday afternoon and is expected to spend the night at his Trump Tower penthouse before traveling downtown to the courthouse in the late morning.<\/p>\n Greene is slated to lead a rally protesting Trump’s indictment at noon on Tuesday with the New York Young Republicans, a group with ties to white nationalists<\/a>. Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n Adams, standing with New York Police Department Commissioner Keechant Sewell, said he expects some disruption, but is not worried about violence. There have been no \u201cspecific credible threats\u201d made at this point, he said.<\/p>\n The Democratic mayor did have a message for any potential \u201crabble rousers” like Greene.<\/p>\n \u201cControl yourselves,\u201d he said. \u201cNew York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger.” <\/p>\n \u201cAs always, we will not allow violence of any kind,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n He urged New Yorkers to use public transportation ahead of a likely gridlock and some road closures, including outside Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan.<\/p>\n Despite Trump\u2019s calls for<\/a> \u201cpotential death and destruction\u201d amid the Manhattan district attorney\u2019s hush-money payment investigation, significant protests in recent weeks have not materialized.<\/p>\n One 39-year-old Trump supporter with no criminal history was charged last week<\/a>with menacing and harassment after allegedly brandishing a knife at a family with two children outside the courthouse. She pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n
