Opposition Leader Kamla Persad Bissessar has doubled down on her controversial statements about the Joe Biden Administration, which she called a "disaster".
In a statement, Persad-Bissessar said:
"People want common sense policies and equal opportunities based on merit, excellence, and intelligence and are fed up with woke far left, nonsensical policies that are based on the use of identity politics, moral superiority and division."
She said she has held these views since 2020, when she began advocating against what she called "far-left extreme insanity".
"It's time for the world to move on from the insanity and destructive, divisive policies of the Joe Biden democrat administration," Persad-Bissessar said.
"I firmly stand by my comments regarding the Joe Biden administration. I believe the previous administration was an absolute disaster. The PNM and other critics have come out supporting the Joe Biden administration.”
She then called out the PNM and those criticising her over their support of several policies under the Biden Administration, 20 of which she listed:
1. Tampons in teenage boys' bathrooms
2. Puberty blockers for teens without parental consent
3. Gender reassignment surgery for children
4. Sexualization and grooming of children under the guise of human rights
5. Adult men use the same public washrooms as little girls and women
6. Drag queen shows in schools and libraries in front of kids
7. Biological men participating in women's sports.
8. The slaughter of 18000 children in Gaza
9. Gender Pronouns
10. Forced health mandates
11. Defunding the police
12. The removal of religion from schools
13. The persecution of persons for holding to their religious beliefs
14. Cancel culture
15. Virtue signalling
16. Social media shadow-banning
17. Two-tiered justice system
18. Weaponization of the judicial system against persons with opposing opinions
19. Censorship of free speech
20. High levels of inflation, crime, nepotism and corruption
