There was only one dignitary at the 9/11 ceremony who didn’t place a hand on her heart during “The Star-Spangled Banner” — and it was the same person who once refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
It was Melissa Mark-Viverito, speaker of the City Council. A photo of the anniversary event shows a line of officials, including Gov. Cuomo, Mayor de Blasio and former Mayors Mike Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani, honoring the anthem by putting their hands over their hearts.
Cuomo’s girlfriend, Sandra Lee, has both hands over her heart.
But Mark-Viverito stands with her hands clasped in front of her.
Bronx state Sen. Ruben Diaz Sr. called it an insult. “She doesn’t care about America. She’s a communist from Puerto Rico,” said Diaz, a minister who, like Mark-Viverito, is of Puerto Rican descent.
“She goes on sacred ground and disrespects America that way. It’s disrespectful to the heroes, the fallen who died on 9/11, it’s disrespectful to the victims and families of 9/11.”

She has both hands over her crotch which is good in a Darwinian sense.
I am far from being a fashionista but most of these folks could use a good tailor.

Maybe hearing the Pledge makes her want to cover her ‘Lady Parts’. I’m sure she has her reasons, the little communist sympathiser that she proudly is.

Since when do people put their hands over their heart during the SSB? I thought it was just the Pledge of Allegience that we did that?
