Changing rules after voters have voted, just so one person can hang on to power, is the kind of authoritarian move that goes against everything our party stands for.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Thank you @TishJames and @JumaaneWilliams for standing up for Brooklyn Democratic voters.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

The upshot is this:

The party chair is trying to pack the executive committee with dozens of new members to protect herself from a vote she was going to lose, and making other changes to ensure all those new votes are her handpicked cronies.

Petty authoritarianism.

Thank you to @bradlander, @VoteYvette, @ReElectNydia, and @hakeemjeffries for standing up for Brooklyn Democrats and calling this what it is: A brazen power grab that goes against everything we should stand for as Democrats.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Comptroller Levine is right. There's too much at stake for our party to have leaders who are more focused on hoarding power than they are on delivering wins in November.

Brooklyn's elected Democratic leaders have spoken out overwhelmingly to condemn the Party Chair's attempted last-ditch rules changes.

This kind of anti-democratic power grab goes against everything our party stands for, and it must not succeed.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

RALLY: Join the coalition opposing the Brooklyn Democratic Party’s anti-democratic power grab Monday at 3pm at Brooklyn Borough Hall.

Tell the Party Chair to respect the vote!

"What we should see is a Brooklyn Democratic Party that is a reflection of what New yYorkers want to see in their home as opposed to a representation of what has led New Yorkers and Americans to become disengaged and disaffected with politics at large."

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

"I very much oppose these proposed changes by the current Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair. I oppose them because they are an attempt to circumnavigate the will of voters." — @NYCMayor

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Brooklyn and NYC Democratic leaders—@hakeemjeffries @NYCMayor @JumaaneWilliams @MarkLevineNYC @VoteYvette, and dozens more—are unanimous: The Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair's attempted power grab must not go forward.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Every official representing Brooklyn at the borough-wide, city-wide, and federal level is opposing the Brooklyn Party Chair’s attempted power grab.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

“Governor Hochul is opposed to this proposal to rewrite the rules of the Brooklyn Democratic Party. Democrats need to be focused on defeating Donald Trump and his MAGA enablers this November, anything else is a distraction" - @KathyHochul spox said.

What is @AMBichotte afraid of, if these rules changes are what she claims they are?

The Brooklyn Democratic Party deserves leadership that doesn't need to hide from public scrutiny.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

The party chair is blocking journalists from the executive committee meeting, but selectively allowing non-committee members with no official role inside.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

The party chair and her allies tout “transparency” while doing everything possible to hide from public scrutiny.

That’s cowardice not leadership.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

"It is crystal clear that the law—and even the bylaws of the party itself, prior to these ridiculous despotic amendments—does not allow the outgoing party leadership to act in secret session to overturn the intent of the democratic voters of Brooklyn"

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Shameful and pathetic
