NEW York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov has been arrested after bringing a firearm to a pro-Palestine rally on Thursday.

Several photos posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, show the councilwoman with a gun on full display on her hip at the rally outside of Brooklyn College on Thursday afternoon.

The New York Governor Kathy Hochul has put out a statement about Vernikov’s arrest on X.

New York State Senator Julia Salazar has also commented on the incident on X, writing: “There is no excuse, none whatsoever, for an elected official to bring a firearm to a college campus in New York.

“To go even further by allegedly brandishing the gun to intimidate Palestinian students is beyond anything I’ve seen before. And I’ve seen some s***.”

Vernikov is Jewish.

The republican has a concealed carry license, according to Politico.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to her office for comment.
