at protests and on the city’s subways amid growing concerns over how the coverings are being used by pro-Palestine demonstrators.
“I’m a strong supporter of the decision of stopping masks on our subway system, masks in protests and masks in other areas where it’s not health-related,” the mayor said. “I think that you’re going to see a great deal of very violent protests and some of this despicable hate we’re seeing, I think you’re gonna see it dissipate.”The mayor said the ban should not include those who are still wearing masks for medical reasons.
Another recent incident that drew the ire of local officials was a protest outside an exhibition in Lower Manhattan commemorating those killed at the Nova Music Festival by the terror group Hamas during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
