Yesterday President Biden, accompanied by Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Stephen Colbert, had another "great moment in horrible political optics" as they headed up a star-studded NYC fundraiser while not far away Donald Trump attended the wake for an NYPD officer who was killed by a career criminal who had 21 prior arrests.
The New York Post summed up the contrast this way:
New York Post (@nypost) ~ Today's cover: Trump declares slain NYPD cop’s death must not be in vain after attending wake: ‘Something has to come out of it’

Bill Kristol said it was an "unfortunate day politically for the Democrats" (one that was self-inflicted and they won't care because a former Obama adviser will explain why shortly):
Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) ~ An unfortunate day politically for the Democrats.
Biden does a fancy NYC fundraiser in the midst of chaotic left-wing street protests--looks like limousine liberalism plus the breakdown of law and order.
And Trump attends the wake of a slain NYPD police officer on Long Island.
David Axelrod agrees, but takes into account the "how shameless politicians view things" perspective:
David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) ~ {Replying to @BillKristol} Not wrong. But in the big scheme of things, the $25 million will probably mean more than the look.
Well, "the look" is pretty bad, but hey, the Biden campaign raked in $25 million so whatevs!
Ah, there you have it - a clear look at the diseased, black hearts of butt-licking Democrats.
Brian Doherty (@BDOH) ~ {Replying to @davidaxelrod and @BillKristol} “The look” is a dead NYPD cop, his widow and child.
Yeah, they're skanky assholes - they don't care about murdered police officers and their families.
Every now and then they just say it right out loud:
Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) ~ Trump attends the wake of a slain NYPD police officer while Biden raises $25 million with Obama, Clinton and Colbert. But according to David Axelrod, the money raised is truly the important thing.
Tiffany (@tiffanylloree) ~ “The $25 million that Biden raised at his fundraiser with Obama and Clinton means more than the look of Trump going to the funeral of a fallen soldier,” says Axelrod. Democrats don’t like people. They like money and power. Remember that when you vote in November.
Bladed Flop Shot (@GeorgiaMan45) ~ $25 million > a slain police officer. - the Democrats.
LetsGoBrandon (@FinnishGuy6) ~ How will 50 donations of $500,000 each from rich elitists mean more than a slain police officer who lost his life as a result of liberal policies?
Yeah, think about that. They say they raised about $25 million. Given the $250,000 minimum, that's ONLY 100 contributors max. Probably is somewhere between 50 and 100. Wow ... lots and lots of grassroots, there, huh?
And rest assured the wealthy celebs who donated all that money to the "walls don't work and guns don't make you safer" Democrat candidate live in gated communities and have armed security.
Camacho2024 (@jcschmieder) ~ Hillary Clinton had a much bigger war chest than candidate Trump. Didn't matter.
Yes, the "wealthy celebrities will carry me across the finish line" approach didn't work out so well for Hillary. Hopefully the result is the same for Biden.
