An influential New York City councilwoman has shaken NYC politics by quitting the women’s caucus and blasting the group for shifting to the radical Left.
According to the New York Post, GOP Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, 40, announced her sudden resignation from the City Council’s Women’s Caucus to protest how “woke” it had become.
Vernikov also blasted the anti-Israel views of the caucus’s members.
The councilwoman held nothing back in a scathing 90-second video exposing just how radical and woke the women’s caucus had become.
She said the leftist agenda ultimately led to her decision to step down.
The caucus reportedly refused to condemn Hamas terrorists for the brutal attack on Israel in 2023.
Instead, Vernikov said the caucus spent much of its time catering to far-left radical progressives.
Vernikov went all out in her video, holding nothing back as she ripped the women’s caucus for its stance on Israel and other “woke” policy visions.
“How can I condemn and call out all these women organizations who’ve stayed completely silent [after the massacre] but continue sitting in a body that’s supposed to stand up for women’s rights, that’s supposed to stand against the abuse and rape and captivity of women, but cannot do that when it comes to Jewish women?” she said in the video.
She released a statement in her post, which included a clip of her video, saying:
“On Friday I OFFICIALLY left @WomensCaucusNYC because I can’t reasonably stay part of a body that purports to stand up for women, but refuses to condemn the RAPE, MURDER, and CAPTIVITY of Jewish women by jihadi terrorists without adding ‘context.'”
She added, “This makes them as useless as every other women’s org I’ve condemned for staying silent.
“Meanwhile, this Caucus literally cannot even agree on what a WOMAN is.”

Users across social media weighed in on her announcement, with many cheering her on.
“There is clearly the side of right and a side of wrong,” one X user wrote.
“You have chosen wisely.”
Another X user wrote, “Good for you.
“You must feel better now!”
Not surprisingly, Democrat members of the caucus accused her of “grandstanding,” when she was only speaking the truth.
