CNN's John King slammed former President Donald Trump for attending the wake of slain New York Police officer Jonathan Diller, saying "while President Biden was holding a perfectly normal $100,000 per ticket celebrity fund-raiser at the Essex House hotel, Trump was exploiting a tragedy for political advantage."
Trump didn't shy away from King's criticism. "The brazen lawlessness that we see under the Biden Administration cries out for remedy," he asserted. "Yet, murders like the one of Officer Diller are ignored by the Democrats. Time-after-time we see that the perpetrators of vicious crimes are on release without bail when they harm or kill someone else. America needs a president who takes public safety seriously."
Biden campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu pooh-poohed what he characterized as "Trump's hysteria on the crime issue" saying "we want to remind voters who have not yet been victimized by crime that they should appreciate that President Biden has, so far, kept them safe. The folks at our New York fund raiser appreciate this. That's why the top 1% of the wealthiest Americans back his reelection by more than two to one. They gave us another $25 million because they know their lives and their money are in good hands when Democrats run the government."
The added $25 million inspired President Biden to boast "this brings our total cash on hand to $155 million. I doubt Trump got much out of going to the Massapequa wake. The relatives and co-workers of cops can't come up with that kind of cash. Add to that the fact that Trump will be paying fines and legal expenses that won't sway any voters while we are buying massive TV ads that will and it should be clear who is going to come out on top this November."
