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
