During her brief attendance at Diller’s wake, Hochul “said prayers at the casket and was very respectful,” she recalled.
But on her way out, she was accosted by a man identified by the New York Post to be a Diller family member. A video showed the man in a tense conversation with the governor as she made her way to her vehicle following her visit. She didn’t say what was discussed.
“We always ask: ‘Would the families like us there?’ If the families say, ‘No, this is the time for our personal family grieving, we don’t want a politician there,’ we don’t go,” Hochul said. “In this case, we asked. We were told the family is welcoming. We always check, and they said to come, and I went. And no one told me to leave.”
Trump, after visiting the funeral home, joined renewed calls for tougher crime legislation in New York, his native state.
“We have to get back to law and order,” Trump said. “We’ve got to toughen it up.”
President Joe Biden also offered his condolences for the officer’s death to Adams ahead of a Biden fundraiser. It was the first time they had spoken in more than a year amid tense relations over the influx of migrants to the city, which Adams has regularly called on the White House to do more to contain.
For her part, Hochul said she’s trying to reverse the state’s bail laws, including several revisions in recent years that held up state budget deals.
“I think everyone knows my positions on the bail laws,” Hochul said Saturday. “I’m the one who’s been trying to make the changes to go back to where it was.”
But she said attending the wake was important.
“I did a lot of listening,” Hochul said. “That’s what happened in the wake room, walking out was a different group of people, and things happen. But I had to do that. It was important for me to be there for them and to listen to what they wanted to say to the governor of New York,” Hochul said….
