The Brooklyn Republican 2023 holiday party on Monday evening at the Bay Ridge Manor, where a toy drive was held to benefit Memorial Sloan Kettering Children’s Hospital, showcased GOP unity, holiday warmth and good cheer — and was a smashing success overall.
However, it was impossible to ignore the 800-pound gorilla in the room: Donald J. Trump.
In a Brooklyn Eagle exclusive, after the event, several Republican and Conservative leaders and elected officials in Bay Ridge were asked about their thoughts on the man, his policies, and whether or not they would throw their support behind Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential race — in spite of the federal and state criminal charges he faces.
