- On Friday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul wore a hijab while addressing a predominantly male audience at the Islamic Cultural Center School in the Bronx.
- Right-Wing personalities accused the governor of 'subjugating herself' and 'bowing to the third world,' framing her choice as a rebuke of her self-identified feminist principles.
- A viral clip shared by End Wokeness reached more than 4 million views by Sunday afternoon, with social media users criticizing the timing two weeks before the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
- Hochul's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment, though she previously defended wearing a headscarf at a Muslim police officer's funeral last year as showing respect.
- The New York Young Republican Club alleged the mosque received funding from Kuwait, while some Democrats countered that critics were employing sexist rhetoric in their attacks.
