Many countries around the world have implemented mandatory veiling laws. This means that for women living under Islamic rule, they don’t have a choice. In fact, they don't have the choice to do many things, including holding public office. This is why it is bizarre that Governor Kathy Hochul put on a hijab, as if the people she’s trying to impress would not fight against every right she has, including the fact that she holds elected leadership.

During an event with Muslim leaders in New York City, Hochul decided that wearing a hijab would impress them. It's unclear whether anyone appreciated her virtue signaling, so draw your own conclusions.

Don’t you wish the left fought for the rights of women who don't have the choice of wearing a hijab, like they pretend to fight against the invisible patriarchy in America, which does not exist? One could only dream.

According to The South Shore Press:

Hochul appeared Friday at an event publicized by the Islamic Center of New York, addressing religious and community leaders while wearing a black head covering. Images and video quickly spread across social media, drawing sharp criticism from conservative accounts.

The controversy comes as New York prepares to commemorate the September 11th, 2001 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

Hochul is already facing separate criticism from a retired Port Authority police group that has asked her to stay away from this year’s Ground Zero ceremony over other actions it considers insensitive to the 9/11 community.

You can see why many people want her nowhere near the Ground Zero ceremony. Not only is she out of touch, but she clearly cares about nothing but virtue signaling, using her lack of virtue for people who hate her. The fact that what she is doing is considered more politically correct than fighting for women’s rights around the world sums up the left’s toxic empathy most perfectly. To call her pathetic stunt cringe would be putting it mildly, as she mocks the genuine struggles of women all around the world who do not have a choice of donning the masking attire.
