Kathy Hochul Responds To Ted Cruz's Weird Callout For Wearing A Headscarf
HuffPost
The two politicians went back and forth over the weekend after the New York governor wore a headscarf to a funeral for a Muslim police officer.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who wore a headscarf to a Muslim police officer’s funeral, swatted back this weekend at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who seemed to mock her in a tweet.
“I wore a headscarf to honor a fallen Muslim NYPD officer at his funeral,” Hochul wrote Saturday on X, formerly Twitter. “Respecting a grieving family’s faith is ‘wut’ leaders and anyone with basic decency would do.”
Hochul’s post was in response to Cruz, who on Friday reposted a photo of Hochul at the funeral with the caption, “Um, wut?”
Social media users pointed out Cruz’s hypocrisy, and they dug up a photo of Cruz in 2016 wearing a yarmulke as he campaigned at the Jewish Center of Brighton Beach in New York.
After Hochul’s response, Cruz responded, writing, “I agree. You should wear a hijab every day because you are so damn decent. Never mind the rights of women in New York…not your concern.”
