New York Governor Kathy Hochul has been criticized for wearing a hijab only when speaking to Muslim audiences, with some accusing her of insincerity and pandering. Hochul wore the headscarf while addressing a predominantly male Muslim audience at the Islamic Center of New York, and has previously worn one at the funeral of a Muslim NYPD officer. Critics argue that her selective use of the hijab is disrespectful to women and divisive, while supporters claim it is a sign of respect for cultural traditions.
