New York Governor Kathy Hochul was quick to hit back at Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) after he questioned why she was wearing a hijab in a photo posted to X.
The image, which shows Hochul sitting next to New York City Mayor Eric Adams in a mosque, was originally posted by an anonymous conservative account with the caption, Why in TF is the Governor of New York wearing a fcking hijab?!
Cruz then reposted it, adding his own biting commentary of Um, wut? On Saturday night, Hochul responded to Cruzs question with a concise explanation, writing, I wore a headscarf to honor a fallen Muslim NYPD officer at his funeral. Respecting a grieving familys faith is wut leaders and anyone with basic decency would do.
Some users on X were quick to point out that Cruz is no stranger to accommodating religious customs while visiting a place of worship, with fact checkers adding a note to the post linking an example of Cruz wearing a yarmulke while visiting the Jewish Center of Brighton Beach during his 2016 presidential campaign.
