Queens City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (R-Whitestone) has been booted
from the chambers mental health committee as punishment for her strident
opposition to Drag Queen Story Hour.
I was targeted. This was a retaliation, the conservative firebrand told
The Post laying the blame squarely at the feet of Council Speaker
Adrienne Adams, who she said gave in to pressure from progressives.
As an individual she is a lovely lady but I really think she is being
bullied She is afraid of the progressive left, Paladino said.
The freshman lawmaker was formally removed from the Committee on Mental
Health, Disabilities and Addiction by a full vote of the Council on March
2.
Paladino, 68, has called the city-funded programs that bring fully-
bedecked drag queens into public schools and libraries to read to and
socialize with kids often without the consent or knowledge of parents
cultural indoctrination and child grooming.
Speaker Adams, 62, blasted Paladino in the Gay City News, saying her
comments on Drag Queen Story Hour were repugnant and unacceptable, and
that Paladino lacked a commitment to inclusivity.
Paladino insisted she had no issue with drag queens personally and had
attended drag shows in the past.
She noted proudly that her old family jewelry store, Cest Magnifique in
Greenwich village, had even made pieces for drag performers.
The shop closed in 2014 after 55 years in business.
This has become an issue of national importance, with jurisdictions
around the country
waking up to the harms of sexual content and gender confusion being taught
in our schools to children as young as kindergarten, she said.
Parents are now realizing the harmful content in their classrooms and are
working every day to take their power back from the radicals who believe
they have a right to indoctrinate children.
Our kids are lagging in school, she continued. They are two and four
years behind in basic education, math, reading, science, they need to get
back to basics. and to concentrate our efforts on drag queens seems like
a terrible waste of time and energy.
Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) defended his party
colleague: The Ethics Committee investigated, found absolutely no
wrongdoing, and yet there is some sort of punishment for her. It
undermines the councils own rules.
Paladino remains a member of the chambers Committee on Veterans and
Committee on Technology.
She warned her colleagues that she still plans to attend Mental Health
committee meetings.
Its a political move against Vickie. But Vickie will survive this the
way Vickie survives everything else. Because Vickie serves the people,
said Paladino.
