Adams’ campaign misstates his age while ripping Mamdani

Mayor Eric Adams’ own campaign got his age wrong — by 3 years — in an X post aimed at dunking on radical election foe Zohran Mamdani for failing to bench-press alone even once at a public event.

“67 vs. 33. A lifetime of hard work vs. a silver spoon. The results speak for themselves,” Adams’ site, erricadamsfornyc, quipped after the humiliating Mamdani fail — while posting a video of the mayor cranking out reps on the same bench press during the “Man’s event” in Brooklyn on Saturday.

“The weight of the job is too heavy for “Mamscrawny.” The only thing he can lift is your taxes,” Adams said.

Adams is 64 and will turn 65 on Sept. 1.

“Eric Adams is 64,” wrote Katie Honan, a reporter from The City who noticed the goof and posted it later Saturday.

Adams’ team later corrected his age — but not before screen grabs were made of the mistake.

Adams campaign spokesman, Todd Shapiro, said it was just a mistake and that the mayor would “never lie about his age.”

Meanwhile, Gov. David Paterson, who endorsed Adams last week, said Sunday that the mayor is getting “nicked to death” by corruption scandals surrounding his aides and associates.

Adams’ former longtime right-hand woman Ingrid Lewis-Martin ran a corruption scheme with tentacles reaching across the city, exchanging political favors for $75,000 in bribes — including thousands of dollars in seafood and an acting role opposite Forest Whitaker, prosecutors alleged last week.

Moreover, an Adams campaign volunteer and ex-aide Winne Greco handed Honan a potato-chip bag stuffed with $300 in cash at an event last week, a move the reporter immediately rejected and which sparked another scandal

“I have tremendous respect for the mayor,” Paterson said on the “Cats Roundtable” program on WABC 770 AM radio. “[I] have backed him up many times. [I] have even let it go when things happen.

“But what happens in campaigns is you get nicked to death. And that’s what’s happening to [Adams]. Every time it appears that he’s gaining some momentum – and none of this was his fault – somebody affiliated with him, something happens,” Paterson told host John Catsimatidis.

“His poll numbers aren’t that great right now. I was happy to endorse him because he’s the type of friend you endorse him no matter what the polls say. But [the potato-chip scandal] didn’t help the situation at all.”
