You would think the mayor of New York City would stand up to President Trump's hatred of immigrants. You would be wrong.

The mayor watched the inauguration ceremony from the screens of the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall, which served as the designated overflow room.

The New York City mayor says he will run in the Democratic primary for reelection. He’s also aggressively cozying up to President Donald Trump and the GOP. Can he do both?

The roughly 50-minute interview with Carlson, a former Fox News host and well-known ally of President Donald Trump, aired on the first full day of the second Trump administration.
