(CNN) New York City Democratic Mayoral candidate Eric Adams on Sunday criticized Democrat lawmakers efforts to curb gun violence are "misplaced" talks in Congress to overhaul the nation's policing laws continue to stall. "I believe those priorities, they really were misplaced. And it's almost insulting what we have witnessed over the last few years," Adams told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," when asked about his party's priorities. CNN projected last week that Adams, the Brooklyn Borough president, will be the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City. "But when you look at the case of a Floyd case where clearly the officer went beyond his scope of responsibility, that officer should be open to a lawsuit."
