New York councilwoman Inna Vernikov has announced she is withholding discretionary funds from a Jewish museum after it allegedly barred Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis from a speaking event.
Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, one of five GOP city lawmakers, said in a statement on Sunday that she would be withholding a $5,000 donation she previously planned to give the Museum of Jewish Heritage after she claimed the museum barred the Republican governor from a speaking event.
"This move should send a strong message to the leadership of the museum: DO NOT politicize the Holocaust!" the councilwoman added in the letter."Just teach it."
