Ron Adar / SOPA Images/Sipa USA via AP fileTwo people were arrested at a New York City Council member's apartment building Monday after opponents of a drag reading event targeted it with messages the politician called “pure hate, unmasked,” officials said.
Bottcher said the arrested women had entered the building. He shared photos of messages written on the sidewalk outside calling him a “groomer” and a"predator." Bottcher on Twitter blamed protesters opposed to a recent “Drag Story Hour." A group had targeted the public reading event geared toward neurodiverse children at a library in Chelsea on Saturday,“This is pure hate, unmasked,” Bottcher, who is gay, wrote in a tweet that had pictures showing the sidewalk messages. “If they think this is going to intimidate us, they’re mistaken. Our resolve is strengthened.
