Kathy Hochul Addresses Ted Cruz’s Headscarf Comments | EUROtoday

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who wore a scarf to a Muslim police officer’s funeral, swatted again this weekend at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who appeared 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, previously Twitter. “Respecting a grieving family’s faith is ‘wut’ leaders and anyone with basic decency would do.”

Hochul’s publish was in response to Cruz, who on Friday reposted a photograph of Hochul on the funeral with the caption, “Um, wut?”

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.”

It’s unclear what Cruz meant by his “rights of women in New York” remark, and his workplace didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.

Hochul had attended the funeral of NYPD officer Didarul Islam, who was killed in final week’s mass capturing in Manhattan. The gunman shot and killed 4 folks within the skyscraper that homes the NFL headquarters earlier than he took his personal life.

Hochul’s workplace didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.
