New York City politician kissed by stranger during TV interview: ‘Very creepy’

A New York City councilwoman was left shocked when in the middle of a television interview a stranger approached and kissed her on the cheek without asking for her consent.

In a video posted on Twitter, it can be seen that a man wearing a gray hat approaches Vernikov and kisses her on the cheek before walking off.

Visibly shocked, Vernikov turns to the man, who smiles as he walks away.

Raised in Brooklyn in a family of Ukrainian immigrants, Vernikov is a Republican representative for the New York City’s 48th district. Following the incident, she wrote: “Not the kind of love I’d expect from constituents! Very creepy moment.”

Lynn Schulman, of district 29, said: “This is abhorrent and disgusting. Hope the assailant is found. Sadly, this type of unacceptable behavior typically happens to women, even in 2023.”
