New York Mayor Eric Adams tried to issue a scolding to Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia in advance of her appearance in his city Tuesday in support of former President Donald Trump.
Instead, he found himself on the short end of a blistering response from Greene.
Trump is scheduled to appear in New York to be arraigned on an indictment handed up last week by a Manhattan grand jury.
On Monday, Adams warned those coming to town to protest the criminal proceedings against the former president to behave themselves — or else.
“While there may be some rabble-rousers thinking about coming to our city tomorrow, our message is clear and simple: Control yourselves. New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger,” the mayor said.
“We are the safest large city in America because we respect the rule of law in New York City,” he continued.
“And although we have no specific threats, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, she stated she’s coming to town,” Adams said.
“While you’re in town, be on your best behavior,” he said.

Last week, Greene said she would go to New York on Tuesday to protest the Trump indictment, which followed an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“We MUST protest the unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!” she tweeted Friday.
