Four US presidents were in New York City on the same day – Biden, Obama and Clinton attended a Democratic fundraiser, while Trump visited services for a slain NYPD officer.
Biden’s event aimed to raise over $25 million, with photo packages costing up to $500,000. Caitlyn Jenner criticized the fundraiser as a “disgrace.”
“Backing the blue should never be partisan- but today Biden was fundraising in NY with Obama and Clinton. An absolute disgrace!!” Jenner wrote. “Proud of both of my friends and amazing patriots @realDonaldTrump & @NassauExec Bruce for standing up for law and order, and a family in mourning.”
Trump and Bruce Springsteen attended the wake for Officer Jason Diller, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop. Trump emphasized the need 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. “We need law and order.”
The White House expressed condolences for Diller’s family and defended Biden’s support for law enforcement, saying he will ensure police have needed resources.
“The President has stood with law enforcement his entire career and continues to stand with them as they put their lives on the line for their communities,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. “Under his leadership, we will continue to support police officers and ensure that they have resources they need to continue — to continue to do the work — the all-important — work that they have to do on behalf of the community.”
