Claim 4: “As your mayor, I was proud to march in this parade for all four years I was in office”

SINGLE SOURCE

While multiple sources confirm Eric Adams' intention to march in 2026 and his general support for the parade, the specific claim that he marched in 'all four years' of his office is not explicitly verified across multiple independent sources in the provided evidence. It appears as a quote/claim within the context of the trolling narrative.
