Good afternoon, Chair, Brandon.
7:29:26
Mister Holden.
7:29:27
My name is Christopher Leon Johnson.
7:29:29
And I wanna make a statement about a trash situation that happened this past weekend over in the Bronx.
7:29:36
Featuring a candidate that's that's running for Congress against AOC, named Tina Forte, and the fact that she refused to caught the racism that occurred over there with her fellow problies, throwing up their little signs, and calling every racial epitope they can do in those 2 hours with myself and Raul Rivera.
7:29:54
Now I wanna talk about a certain council member that has no problems standing next to her.
7:29:59
Her name is Christie Momorato, and she she served the 13th district in the state in the city council.
7:30:05
I am calling on Christy Momarato to get dim get the get dim.
7:30:08
What happened on Saturday open in the Bronx?
7:30:12
With Tina Forte and the Proud Boys harassing myself and Raul Rivera for expressing our freedom of speech and for jumping themselves in a situation that had nothing to do with them.
7:30:24
Now Tito Forte refused to quote the racism that occurred at in the Bronx.
7:30:30
And Christy Monoranto, I expected not to say anything about it because she needs our support, because she's supporter of a city council, a city council.
7:30:38
Now I'm gonna tell it to Christy Morales on this plat on this panel.
7:30:42
If you don't wanna call out if you don't wanna condemn the racism, that Tina Forte I allow to occur in the Bronx towards myself and Rob Rivera.
7:30:51
I will not support you in your reelection campaign next year.
7:30:55
And I hope that the Bronx Democratic Party, Jamal Bailey, runs someone against her if she refused to call out, refused to condemn the racism that Tina Forte is allowed to occur with Derek Gibson.
7:31:07
I will make sure that she get bolted out next year, 2025.
7:31:11
With Martin GoldEdge or Marjorie Gold Lesquez because what I experienced this past weekend was really trash.
7:31:17
This is the trash committee.
7:31:19
What happened in the Bronx was really disgusting and trashy, and Chris and Warner also do the right thing to get damn it.
7:31:25
Thank you.
