Same NY governor who demanded masking during pandemic now wants to CRIMINALIZE wearing a mask on the subway.
After insisting people wear masks and get vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, New York Governor Kathy Hochul now wants to criminalize people wearing masks in public spaces.
The topic came up while the governor was being interviewed by CNN, when she was asked if she supported the call to ban masks on the New York City subway by Jewish leaders.
The leaders are now calling to restore New York state's anti-mask law, which was suspended during the pandemic to accommodate mask mandates; the law had previously banned gatherings of people using masks to cover their faces, with a penalty of 15 days in jail.
Hochul told CNN that she was considering reenacting the ban on masks on the subway, a position she repeated during an Albany news conference, where she said New York officials would "Not tolerate individuals using masks to evade being responsible for criminal or threatening behavior."
During the pandemic, Hochul announced that everyone aged two and older who was medically able to tolerate a mask had to wear one in all indoor public places whether they were vaccinated or not, unless the place in question required proof of vaccination to enter it.
This type of mixed message - going from a mask requirement to an outright ban - is nothing new for liberals, and reason does seem to have gone out the window when it comes to pursuing people critical of Israel at all costs, but it's not clear how this rule would be enforced; someone who truly does want to obscure their identity could simply claim they have a medical or religious reason to wear the mask.
