Americans React to Biden Skipping Out on Slain NYPD Officer's Wake and Instead Attend a Swanky Fundraiser

**This article has been updated to include the NYC anti-Biden protests 

Former President Trump will attend a wake for the New York City Police officer who was gunned down while President Joe Biden attends a swanky fundraiser for his failing campaign. 

On Thursday, Trump was in New York and attended the wake of Officer Jonathan Diller, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop on Monday, which will be held in suburban Massapequa.

Meanwhile, Biden was also in New York but for an entirely different reason. 

Biden will be attending a swanky fundraiser with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and Democrat donors. 

Meanwhile, in New York City, dozens of anti-Biden supporters gathered outside of Radio City Hall to protest the progressive leftist fundraiser that the president, the Clintons, and the Obamas attended. 

Trump spoke at the wake, criticizing Biden’s woke soft-on-crime policies that resulted in an innocent officer being killed, calling for “law and order.” 

“Such a sad, sad event. Such a horrible thing. And it's happening all too often and we're just not going to let it happen," Trump said. “I just visited with a very beautiful wife who now doesn't have her husband. Stephanie was just incredible. Their child, is brand new, beautiful, baby. Sitting there innocent.” 

"President Trump is moved by the invitation to join NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller’s family and colleagues as they deal with his senseless and tragic death,” Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Biden has yet to comment on the slain NYPD officer's death.
