New York’s Dem Governor Dons Hijab Ahead of 9/11 Anniversary.
Governor Kathy Hochul’s decision to wear a hijab at an Islamic center event has sparked criticism for hypocrisy in light of Democrats’ frequent comparisons of conservative values to The Handmaid’s Tale.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) drew criticism on social media after donning a hijab to address Muslim religious and community leaders at an Islamic center on Friday. The appearance came as the nation prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, prompting Republican Representative Brandon Gill of Texas to accuse Democrats of applying a double standard to cultural and religious issues.
📺 DETAIL: Other prominent Democrat feminists, including Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, have also worn hijabs to appeal to Muslim men. The controversy comes amid years of Democrat rhetoric comparing conservative policies on abortion and other social issues to Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale, which depicts a fictional authoritarian society where women are subjected to a Christian theocracy.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Democrats: ‘Sexist Republicans are turning America into the Handmaid’s Tale!’ Also Democrats:” Rep.Brandon Gill (R-TX) posted on X, alongside an image of Hochul veiling herself for her Muslim audience.
🎯 IMPACT: The controversy could further fuel debate over the way Democrat politicians often abandon their purported values in order to appeal to minority voting blocs, while attacking white social conservatives and traditional Christians. It may also intensify scrutiny of Hochul and other Democrat leaders as they seek support from Muslim voters, particularly ahead of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear her claim her purpose for honoring Islam was "misunderstood. :thumbsdown:"

The only difference between Hochul and a bucket of horse crap...is the bucket.

Even filled, the bucket is more attractive.

The hijab is just so she won't scare small children too soon before Halloween.

No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.

Kathy Hochul Wears Hijab 2 Weeks Before 9/11, Claims It 'Used to Be Standard in This Country'

 By Brooklynn Robinson

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul put on an Islamic head scarf for Friday prayers in Queens.

Then she told the country this used to be an ordinary American practice.

She visited the Islamic Cultural Center of New York, spoke at Jummah, and toured the school, the New York Post reported.
 

When a White House account posted the picture, Hochul fired back on X.

I think she is "confusing" (ahem, ahem) a scarf with a hijab.  As I said in another post, everyone misunderstood her. ***blushing***

I sense that hochul is scared to death of both muslims in the state (in general) and zombie-mammi in New York City (in particular).

The Republican running against her should make hay about the power of the governor of NY state to remove the mayor of NYC (as per NY state law). It might help him gain a little traction...
(even though he'll almost certainly lose, anyway...)

A picture of most any ass will be close enough.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
