The Jewish Museum in New York City decided to host radical leftist Kathy Hochul this week after canceling an event featuring Florida governor Ron DeSantis earlier this year.
In canceling DeSantis, the museum claimed they didn't want to be political. But they then turned around and allowed Kathy Hochul to use the museum as a prop for her platform.
From the New York Post:
Brooklyn Councilwoman Inna Vernikov ripped the Museum of Jewish Heritage and Gov. Kathy Hochul Friday, accusing both of having a double standard on who gets to speak there for hosting Democrats but shutting out Republicans — including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Hochul held a bill-signing ceremony at the museum on Wednesday to promote education about the Holocaust.
As governor, Hochul also serves as an ex-officio trustee of MJH's governing board. The museum also is located in state-government owned Battery Park.
But in May, leaders of a conservative Jewish group, the Tikvah Fund, said it had to cancel a planned event at the museum and relocate to another venue after it was told that museum officials objected to DeSantis speaking.
DeSantis is banned because he's controversial, but then the museum invites the totally-not-partisan-or-controversial Hochul to speak.
Huh??
Kathy Hochul used an event to take a potshot at Ron DeSantis.
Hochul said during the bill signing ceremony, "I just want to say to the 1.77 million Jews who call New York home: Thank you for calling New York home. Don't go anywhere or to another state."
She then cracked, "Florida is overrated. I shouldn't say this, but look at the governor. It starts at the top down."
What a disgusting thing to say at a Holocaust remembrance event!
The Jewish community should "not be used for photo ops" at the Jewish Heritage Museum, Vernikov told The Post and said Hochul should focus on improving New York's business climate and curbing crime instead of taking a cheap partisan jab at DeSantis.
"Instead of pointing fingers at Gov. DeSantis, who has been doing a tremendous job for the Jewish community and all the people of his state, Gov. Hochul has some introspection to do," Vernikov said.
DeSantis is making Florida a state that is successful and welcoming to all. New Yorkers are fleeing to it left and right. And Hochul absolutely hates it.
Spend less time trashing DeSantis and try to fix your own state!
