“They should turn their backs to him.” I watched part of the funeral live on FOX but missed seeing De Blasio speak. I read that they DID turn their backs on him when he spoke. I have not heard anything of what Biden had to say or if the police turned their backs on him as well.

How does that hypocrite DeBlasio dare to show up at Ofc. Ramos’s funeral? He should be ashamed to show his face.
