“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg is offended about the reaction to one major-party presidential candidate attending the wake of a slain New York Police Department detective and another one skipping it, but attending a star-studded fundraiser in the city at the same time.
But because this is “The View,” it’s not at all what would usually be self-evident reasons for outrage.
On Tuesday’s edition of the ABC flibbertigibbet outrage roundtable, Goldberg railed at former President Donald Trump for having the temerity to pay his respects to Jonathan Diller, the NYPD officer killed in the line of duty in the Far Rockaway section of Queens last week.
Meanwhile, she stuck up for President Joe Biden for not attending the wake or funeral and going to a fundraiser, instead.
According to Fox News, ex-cons Guy Rivera and Lindy Jones face murder charges after the March 25 incident. The officer and his partner had approached the car the men were in as it idled in a bus stop zone. As the officers asked the suspects to exit the vehicle, Diller was shot in the stomach and killed.
“What happened is 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 told reporters after visiting the funeral home in Massapequa, a town on Long Island.
He added the alleged triggerman was “21 times arrested, this thug, and the person in the car with him was arrested many times, and they don’t learn because they don’t respect.”
“We have to get back to law and order,” Trump added. “We have to do a lot of things differently because this is not working. This is happening too often.”
