NEW YORK, Nov 17, The Caribbean American Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn on Wednesday strongly denounced former President Donald Trump’s launching of his bid for the United States Presidency in 2024.

“It’s no small surprise that former President Trump is now running a desperate attempt to regain the presidency in 2024,” said Bichotte Hermelyn, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, who represents the 42nd Assembly District in Brooklyn.

“Trump is a dangerous election denier who, despite being impeached twice and facing myriad lawsuits and criminal probes, believes that he can strongarm his Trumpian beliefs onto the people,” she added.

“Trump, who incited the Jan 6 insurrection on our US Capitol, downplayed and polarized the pandemic, and used divisive, racist speech that increased hate crimes, is not only an inept leader but has blood on his hands and is a dangerous threat to the core of our democracy and the American people.”

Bichotte Hermelyn said the Brooklyn Democratic Party is “laser-focused on ensuring we prevent Trump from ever holding office again, and we call on all NY Republican lawmakers who openly support Trump, including failed gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin, to disavow him.”

“Trump’s divisive, treacherous ideology has no place in New York, and Democrats in Brooklyn – and across the nation – must counter the vile hatred of MAGA Trumpism with unity and strong leadership as we look towards 2024,” she added.

In announcing his 2024 bid at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump on Tuesday night echoed what has been described as “old falsehoods,” stating that his administration “built the greatest economy in the history of the world.”

“We will make America wealthy again,” he said. “We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. We will make America glorious again. And we will make America great again.”
