Here is some information from his Wikipedia page.
He endorsed George Pataki, a Republican. for Governor of New York. He supported George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney in their presidential campaigns.
His District voted for Trump 69% in 2016.
He favors racial profiling of Muslims.
He is anti UN
He is anti-gay, saying that gay marriage is merely a step towards incest.
He supported Jewish teenagers accused of beating a Muslim man while shouting racial epitaphs at him, saying the Muslim man had provoked them.
There were five Jewish teenagers and one Muslin man.
He appeared at a party in blackface. Who the &%$# does that?
He is being investigated for financial irregularities. This refers to a current investigation, not the one from 1998 referred to in the Wikipedia article.
Hikind claims to be a Democrat. In his Facebook post which you referenced above he talks about the good economy without giving any credit to Barack Obama. Sounds like a Republican to me.
He talks about job creation under Trump without acknowledging that job creation was better during the final months of the Obama administration than at the start of Trump's. Sounds like a Republican to me.
He talks about the US beginning to emerge in energy dominance, but ignores that said emergence has been going on for years. Sounds like a Republican to me.
He talks about cutting regulations and increased drilling in the Gulf of Mexico while ignoring the environmental damage that will occur. Sound like a Republican to me.
He opposes the Iran deal which is our best hope for a nuclear weapons free Iran and which had a lot more safeguards than no treaty at all. Sounds like a Republican to me.
Hikind talks about a potential peace with a denuclearized North Korea, ignoring the fact that is much more potential than real; and ignoring the fact that North Korea still has nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. Sounds like a Republican to me.
I frankly do not understand why the Democratic Party in New York allowed this guy to call himself a Democrat for so many years. They should have kicked him out years ago.
He is supposedly retiring now, otherwise the party should have refused to support him in any way.
