Far-left NYC mayoral candidate Maya Wiley, who was endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, hosted the lighting of a Havdalah candle on Saturday *afternoon* in an event to show her support of Jewish New Yorkers:

Too bad she forgot the part about sundown:
Shavua Tov. Guess I missed havdalah with Maya because it was still Shabbat pic.twitter.com/MAom9RxG6N

You can’t make this up:
Incredible. AOC endorsed candidate in NYC Mayor's race does outreach to Jewish voters by scheduling Havdalah (a ceremony to mark the end of Shabbat) while it was still Shabbat. https://t.co/fCqkleYyP4

Jewish voters in NYC, you’ve been warned:
The way to win the Jewish vote is to hold havdalah three hours before Shabbos is over https://t.co/Wzv5zShJLw

We look forward to meeting the staffer who arranged this:
Scheduling when to have a Havdalah event is a "you had ONE job" sort of thing. It's not difficult.

It’s a total clown show:
Absolutely perfect encapsulation of the merger of wokeism and as-a-Jew-ism. These people despise actual Judaism, know little or nothing about it (you don't do havdalah during daytime), and are exploiting it for politics. Chef's kiss. https://t.co/z96DvKTXNU

Set to the tune of “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere”:
It was Havdalah somewhere in the world. 🤷🏽♂️ https://t.co/ESW3TAEQBz
