NYC’s Mayor Adams and Sharpton Outrageously Demand US Involvement in Haiti Chaos, Yet Cowardly Refuse to Support Troops on the Ground!

In a glaring display of inefficiency and misplaced priorities, Mayor Eric Adams alongside the Rev. Al Sharpton have taken it upon themselves to pressure President Biden’s administration for intervention in Haiti’s escalating gang violence crisis. However, their reluctance to endorse the deployment of U.S. troops to the beleaguered Caribbean nation speaks volumes about their lack of a robust strategy.

During a press conference at City Hall, flanked by local faith leaders, both Adams and Sharpton highlighted the urgent need for the federal government to halt the suspected trafficking of firearms from Florida to Haiti. These weapons, they claim, are fueling gang insurgencies that have already dismantled the country’s governance structures through violent upheaval earlier this month.

Moreover, they audaciously demanded an immediate cessation of Haitian deportations from the U.S., coupled with a plea for resources to combat the chaos unraveling on the island. “There are immediate things we can do right now: Stop the flow of guns, stop the deportations, give the expertise on how to stabilize the community and give the resources that are needed at this time,” Mayor Adams stated, conveniently ignoring New York City’s significant Haitian diaspora population as a potential leverage point.

When probed by The New York Daily News regarding potential U.S. military involvement in Haiti, Sharpton evasively referenced a proposal by Kenya to dispatch around 1,000 specialized police officers to aid in restoring order but shied away from advocating for American boots on Haitian soil.

Adams remained silent when given an opportunity to expand on Sharpton’s stance concerning U.S. troop deployment—a clear indication of their collective hesitance or perhaps ignorance towards taking decisive action.

Despite these calls for intervention, it’s worth noting that Ariel Henry’s resignation as Haiti’s acting prime minister has plunged the nation deeper into turmoil. Under his watch—and subsequent departure—gangs led by notorious figure “Barbecue” have wreaked havoc across Haiti, leaving a trail of death and destruction in their wake.

Sharpton’s announcement of his planned discussions with White House officials does little to instill confidence in their approach towards resolving this international crisis. It merely underscores a pattern of Democratic leadership: all talk with minimal actionable solutions.

The Biden administration’s recent pledge of $25 million in humanitarian relief for Haiti might seem like a step forward but is merely a drop in the ocean compared to what is truly required to address both immediate needs and long-term stability.

This entire scenario lays bare an uncomfortable truth: under Democratic guidance, there seems to be more concern for political posturing than genuine problem-solving or international leadership. As violence continues unabated in Haiti and ineffective pleas from figures like Adams and Sharpton echo through halls of power, one must question—where is the decisive action? Where is the commitment not just to band-aid solutions but to real change?
