New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines in 2019 when she defiantly
wore an evening gown at the exclusive and trendy "Met Gala" bash with the words
"Tax the Rich" emblazoned across it.

Her message was seen as pointed and, to some, a rude display at the annual
gathering of the wealthiest supporters of the Metropolitan Museum of Art where
tickets go for $50,000 each.

Now another New York City elected official has worn a glamorous evening gown…
with a message of her own.

NYC councilwoman Inna Vernikov’s Star of David Israel flag dress wows crowd at
the Manhattan Republican gala.

New York Republican City Council Member Inna Vernikov wore a striking blue and
white evening dress emblazoned with the Jewish star…the Israeli flag…at the
annual Manhattan Republican Club gala last night.

"So many Jewish New Yorkers & Jewish college students all over the country are
afraid to display their Jewish identity, war a Kipa, a Star of David, or express
support for the great state of Israel," Vernikov wrote on "X"

"We cannot be afraid! We cannot remain silent! Be Jewish. Be Loud. Be Proud.
This is where we live and we will not be intimidated!"

Vernikov, who is Jewish and born in Ukraine, has been an outspoken advocate for
democracy and human rights, especially against Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion
of her homeland and the continuing attacks, both verbal and physical, against
American Jews.

ally in the Middle East"
