NYPD rookie sorry for boss' lap dance -- but says a man wouldn't see same backlash

The NYPD rookie caught on tape giving her lieutenant a bawdy lap dance at their precinct holiday party apologized to her boss and his wife — as she insisted that the video wouldn’t have gone viral “had it been a man doing it.”

“I feel like just because, mainly — I’m a female, dressed the way I was, being a rookie ‚— things were different,” Vera Mekuli told TMZ. “Had it been a man doing it, I feel like it would have been more of a joking matter and it would have stayed in-house versus go public the way it did with me.”

Mekuli, 26, “had no knowledge” her superior was married and is “truly sorry” for the consequences of the lap dance, which prompted police brass to reassign 44th Precinct Lt. Nick McGarry to subway patrol, she said.

Mayor Wu says hateful comments have flooded her office since announcing new vaccine regulations

Slurs and threats can also be found in abusive comments left on the Facebook page belonging to Geoff Diehl, the current favorite to win the Republican nomination in the 2022 governor’s race. Diehl, who lives in Whitman, opposes the new policies, and joined protesters at Boston City Hall Monday.

"Communist Wu needs to go back to China. ... You want civil war, you'll get one," one commenter said in response to a post from Diehl about his opposition to Boston's new requirements.

"Another oriental in a government position,” said another. “s it me or are there way more oriental people within all facets and levels of influence ... Has China already taken over or are they getting situated to take control of everything[?]"

As of midday Thursday, Diehl had not responded to that or similar comments, and Diehl campaign manager Amanda Orlando said he is not obligated to.

"Geoff's comments, and those of official members of his campaign team, regarding Mayor Wu and her recent public statements and mandates are the only ones which should be ascribed to him," Orlando said in an email. "The standard that a politician should denounce public commentary on social media by people not connected to his campaign is not a standard that you, or most in the media, would apply to any other politician, and, as such, we are expecting that it not be applied to the Diehl campaign either."
