Assemblyman Colton (D – Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights) and District Leader Charles Ragusa are disgusted with the hate comments that have been made by Ronald X. Stewart against Asian American Community, who also appears to be a member of the Community Planning Board 13.

“Mr. Stewards comments are unacceptable, and what he said must be condemned. It is simply wrong for anyone to attack anyone, especially with the hateful racial remarks. Coronavirus is a public health issue and it doesn’t give any one the right to discriminate against any ethnic groups, it is a despicable act and will not be tolerated. We can never ignore acts of hate because such an attack on any group is an attack on us all. Mr. Steward made these terrible statements against Asians and he must be removed as a community planning board member. All should condemn such words,” Colton stated.
