A Republican lawmaker in New York City has been arrested Friday on a gun charge after appearing yesterday at a pro-Palestinian rally in Brooklyn.
The New York City Police Department told Fox News Digital Friday that it has arrested a Republican city councilwoman after she was spotted with a handgun protruding from her pants at a pro-Palestinian rally in Brooklyn. Authorities say Inna Vernikov, 39, was taken into custody around 3 a.m. and charged with criminal possession of a firearm following yesterday’s demonstration at Brooklyn College.
There is a ton of police, and we made sure that Jewish students feel safe today,' she said in a clip posted on X, during which a crowd behind her waving Palestinian flags could be heard chanting 'Free free Palestine!' 'This is what they are doing, protesting, supporting Hamas, asking to globalize the intifada, to bring the terror that the people of Israel are experiencing now, to bring it here to New York City,' Vernikov added.
