New York Governor Kathy Hochul has fired back at former President Donald Trump after he criticized her decision to wear a hijab during a public appearance. Hochul, who is the first woman of color to hold the office, said she will never apologize for embracing the garment, which she described as a personal expression of faith and identity. Trump’s remarks—part of a broader pattern of controversial comments about religious symbols—prompted Hochul to reaffirm her commitment to religious freedom and to reject any suggestion that her faith should be questioned. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions over religious expression in public life and underscores Hochul’s willingness to stand firm on her principles.
