Gov. Kathy Hochul said she “understands” why slain NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller’s family is “outraged,” but insisted Saturday she was never told to leave the hero cop’s wake — despite being abruptly told “his blood is on your hands.”

“I would do it again, and that’s my job,” said Hochul, defending her decision to attend Diller’s wake a day earlier on Long Island.

“We were told the family is welcoming. We always check, and they said to come, and I went. And no one told me to leave,” Hochul also told Politico during an Easter event at the governor’s mansion in Albany.

From what I read, she wanted to go in immediately, while they were finishing the open casket wake to the closed casket wake. She demanded to go in asap.

If I was the parent I’d let her attend. Then I would pick the right moment to have a relative recording while I took her by the hand and asked her to promise me she wouldn’t let this happen to another parent. No matter how she answers she’s screwed. Think about it.

That is the 2nd democrat party mayor to get booted out of a funeral of an officer.

arrogant self-righteous reject anything negative about themselves. How could it be negative, I was elected governor.
