Hakeem Jeffries and the PNC must respect the Constitution
Dear Editor,
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries is in the news again trumpeting the call for an end to partisan politics, for more inclusivity and end of discrimination against Afro and Indo Guyanese, among other things. The first mentioned grouping, that is, Afro-Guyanese is his main concern, the Indo-Guyanese grouping was just thrown in for good measure. So, his prompters Burke and company are there to assist him in this crusade to bolster their case against The PPP/C Government. How successful they will be in the upcoming discussion is left to be seen, because there are so many inconsistencies in his statement that one envisages a circus in the making.
But before we delve into our discussion today let us talk a little of Congressman Jeffries. Sitting next to Burke, he was the chief guest at Granger’s victory celebration in Brooklyn in 2015. This is a commendable act in that here The PNC have an ally in The Black Brotherhood. But wait a minute he was strangely silent, if not a total disappearance in The 2020 Election Rigging Saga. So when Jeffries comes out swinging in 2023 talking about a clean voters list and good governance he has to remember that he is speaking to his comrades in The PNC and not to The PPP/C. We believe and strongly support good governance and a one man one vote government, something alien to The PNC.
So every time he speaks on The Guyana Issue, Jeffries is simply putting his foot in his mouth. This man is conveniently sidestepping the barefaced attempts to rig the election here in Guyana. He forgets that he is a strong supporter of the architects of rigging in this country, the most egregious thing to have been done to The Guyanese People.
Again, on the point of inclusivity, I would ask of Jeffries, why can’t he forgive Trump on that brazen rigging stunt he tried to pull off on The Americans, when he ordered the Georgia Governor to “find 15,000 votes” to earn him a victory by fraud? Why not forgive Trump and include him as a candidate in the next election? I know that his answer would be a resounding no! Then why should rigging be considered acceptable in Guyana but not for The Americans? Should we believe that this is what Jeffries is promulgating?
My point is if is unacceptable in The USA, don’t try foisting that foolishness here. I, with great enthusiasm, look forward to the upcoming discussions with Congressman Jeffries.
Respectfully Submitted,
Neil Adams
