Democrat Governor Forced To Flee
This is so wrong.
Following the recent events surrounding New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul’s attendance at memorial services for slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller in Massapequa Park, there has been widespread criticism of her actions, notably from former Republican Representative Lee Zeldin and local residents.
Reports and images from the scene depict Governor Hochul being confronted by mourners outside the funeral home, prompting her to flee from the venue. Residents, including Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, have expressed their discontent, highlighting Hochul’s denied request to speak at Officer Diller’s funeral and her subsequent confrontation with grieving family members.
Zeldin condemned Hochul’s actions as self-serving and disrespectful, emphasizing that such occasions should prioritize the grieving family rather than political figures. He referenced Hochul’s previous experiences, including being booed at the New York Rangers’ home-opener in 2022, as indicative of growing public dissatisfaction with liberal policies and misplaced governmental priorities.
Kilmeade provided further insights into the tense atmosphere at the wake, noting similar confrontations with other New York officials like Mayor Eric Adams and District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Hochul and New York State Attorney General Letitia James were reportedly rejected by Officer Diller’s family when they requested to speak at his funeral, reflecting the community’s strong sentiments against them.
Zeldin highlighted the broader frustration among New Yorkers regarding crime policies and governmental inefficiency, citing examples such as the MTA’s congestion pricing receiving more attention than public safety concerns. He underscored the disconnect between elected officials and the public, particularly evident during moments of raw emotion like the aftermath of a tragic loss.
Kilmeade drew attention to the contrasting treatment of suspects like Guy Rivera, who remained free despite a criminal record, while authorities aggressively pursued cases against individuals like former President Trump and Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran involved in a subway incident. Hochul recently criticized judges for releasing potentially dangerous suspects without bail, indicating a need for improved judicial training.
Overall, the incidents surrounding Governor Hochul’s involvement in Officer Diller’s memorial services have sparked broader conversations about political accountability, law enforcement policies, and the disconnect between elected officials and the communities they serve.
