Central PA Delegation October 28, 2024 | 3:30 PM
HARRISBURG, Oct. 28 – State Rep. Manuel Guzman Jr., chair of the Central Pennsylvania House Democratic Delegation, today condemned hateful remarks made at a rally hosted by former President Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden, New York, on Sunday.
The group released the following statement:
“What we heard Sunday evening during Trump’s rally was a brutal diatribe against Puerto Rico, Latinos, Black and Jewish voters. We cannot summarize these derogatory comments against minorities and label it as ‘just a bad comedy set;’ the remarks are part of an ongoing strategy that is clearly in alignment with Trump’s harmful and characteristic rhetoric hate.
“In the same rally, Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior aide stated that ‘America is for Americans and Americans only.’ We are appalled by the expression. The statement calls for division and refers to our nation as a private club reserved for chosen ones.
“Let’s keep in mind that America is defined by diversity. Our delegation condemns the slew of offensive remarks at the unfortunate rally and remains committed to stand up against discrimination and extremism of any kind.”
