A New York City councilwoman has said her Queens office requires police protection from “the leftist hate mob” after she spoke out against adult drag performers reading books to children in public schools as “grooming.”

Vickie Paladino, who represents Queens’ district 19, spoke out against the program after the New York Post reported that the program had been lavished by the city and state with more than $200,000 for appearances in public schools in the city since 2018.
