Yesterday morning on NYC RW radio, the host was screaming and blathering about this very topic. How Trump was the only one who cared about this fallen hero. How Joe Biden was conveniently in NYC and couldn't be bothered to drive a few miles to pay his respects. Raising money was more important than doing the right thing.

What he didn't mention was that the officer's widow had invited Trump, not Biden, to the wake, and Trump accepted. And the fundraiser had been planned for a long time on the same day as the wake.

As a hypothetical, if Joe Biden had shown up without an invitation to the wake, he would have been criticized and roasted for making an otherwise solemn occasion into a political event. IOW, Biden would have been roasted no matter
whether he was at the wake or didn't go. They'd find something to condemn him.
