The former host wrote that Adams should have “obviously discomfort and violent people” removed from the streets.
“I take the subway multiple times a day, every day, with my 3 kids. Every single day we encounter several clearly unwell and violent men,” she wrote on X. “I’ve taught my kids not to make eye contact, to switch train cars even when it’s not our stop & to never get on a nearly empty train. All split second decisions as we try to gauge whether an obviously sick person is going to hurt someone or just continue screaming, knocking things over, etc.
“The horror videos about the murder of Iryna confirmed my belief that we have to bring these people to the streets. Our DAS and the judges disappointed us. They showed fantasy of empathy for mentally ill people…but keeping professional criminals roaming the streets is neither love nor safe.”
She tagged Adams’ X account in the post.
