GEIST Meanwhile guys former ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump also in ░░░░░░░░ York yesterday to attend ░░░░░░░░ wake of an NYPD ░░░░░░░░ killed the other day ░░░░░░░░ the line of duty ░░░░░░░░ met with the family ░░░░░░░░ Officer Jonathan Diller yesterday ░░░░░░░░ the memorial service on ░░░░░░░░ Island where hundreds of ░░░░░░░░ enforcement officers were on ░░░░░░░░ to pay their respects ░░░░░░░░ Diller was shot and ░░░░░░░░ on Monday while approaching ░░░░░░░░ illegally parked car in ░░░░░░░░ Police say the suspect ░░░░░░░░ the shooting has nearly ░░░░░░░░ dozen previous arrests After ░░░░░░░░ with Officer Diller s ░░░░░░░░ who invited Trump to ░░░░░░░░ service Trump spoke to ░░░░░░░░ outside describing the officer ░░░░░░░░ death as a horrible ░░░░░░░░ and calling for a ░░░░░░░░ to law and order ░░░░░░░░ has accused President Biden ░░░░░░░░ not being tough enough ░░░░░░░░ crime and his campaign ░░░░░░░░ to contrast his visit ░░░░░░░░ Biden s fundraiser in ░░░░░░░░ York City with former ░░░░░░░░ Obama and Clinton Jonathan ░░░░░░░░ just a horrific tragedy ░░░░░░░░ Diller killed has a ░░░░░░░░ year old child at ░░░░░░░░ A rally of support ░░░░░░░░ the city across the ░░░░░░░░ for Officer Diller paying ░░░░░░░░ his mortgage making sure ░░░░░░░░ family is taken care ░░░░░░░░ but a reminder that ░░░░░░░░ s no such thing ░░░░░░░░ m always reminded by ░░░░░░░░ as a routine traffic ░░░░░░░░ as this was just ░░░░░░░░ pullover in Queens and ░░░░░░░░ Diller was shot and ░░░░░░░░ LEMIRE Yeah each officer ░░░░░░░░ each day not knowing ░░░░░░░░ it will be their ░░░░░░░░ shift on the job ░░░░░░░░ covered the NYPD for ░░░░░░░░ long time and covered ░░░░░░░░ lot of funerals just ░░░░░░░░ this It s a ░░░░░░░░ outpouring of support from ░░░░░░░░ community and the nation ░░░░░░░░ something like this happens ░░░░░░░░ of course because he ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump he s ░░░░░░░░ it political Look his ░░░░░░░░ were very clear yesterday ░░░░░░░░ they liked this split ░░░░░░░░ of President Biden being ░░░░░░░░ Radio City Music Hall ░░░░░░░░ two other presidents for ░░░░░░░░ big dollar glitzy fundraiser ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump was out ░░░░░░░░ Queens and then on ░░░░░░░░ Island meeting with the ░░░░░░░░ of a slain officer ░░░░░░░░ ll get into it ░░░░░░░░ in the day how ░░░░░░░░ also spent the rest ░░░░░░░░ his day attacking the ░░░░░░░░ of the judge but ░░░░░░░░ least in this moment ░░░░░░░░ tried to stay on ░░░░░░░░ Jeff Mason and talk ░░░░░░░░ crime Trump and Republicans ░░░░░░░░ trying to make crime ░░░░░░░░ central issue this election ░░░░░░░░ we should note stats ░░░░░░░░ that crime has actually ░░░░░░░░ most places in this ░░░░░░░░ over the last couple ░░░░░░░░ years since its post ░░░░░░░░ high but just the ░░░░░░░░ of crime and we ░░░░░░░░ note President Biden called ░░░░░░░░ Adams to express condolences ░░░░░░░░ the slain officer how ░░░░░░░░ are Democrats that this ░░░░░░░░ be an issue that ░░░░░░░░ this November MASON I ░░░░░░░░ Democrats think they have ░░░░░░░░ own case to make ░░░░░░░░ crime President Biden has ░░░░░░░░ very very active in ░░░░░░░░ on gun violence issues ░░░░░░░░ started an office at ░░░░░░░░ White House on gun ░░░░░░░░ and they see that ░░░░░░░░ completely connected to crime ░░░░░░░░ a way that Republicans ░░░░░░░░ t like to make ░░░░░░░░ connection So I think ░░░░░░░░ can also look back ░░░░░░░░ some previous elections 2022 ░░░░░░░░ where Republicans were talking ░░░░░░░░ lot about crime ahead ░░░░░░░░ time and then it ░░░░░░░░ t resonate as much ░░░░░░░░ the polls as they ░░░░░░░░ expecting So you know ░░░░░░░░ think it s an ░░░░░░░░ that Republicans will see ░░░░░░░░ a vulnerability and you ░░░░░░░░ see President Trump trying ░░░░░░░░ make it one for ░░░░░░░░ Democrats but I think ░░░░░░░░ re ready.”
