Biden Hobnobs With Leftie Elites While Trump Attends Murdered Cop’s Wake

Biden Hobnobs With Leftie Elites While Trump Attends Murdered Cop’s Wake

Last night, as the country slept, Joe Biden signaled a farewell to America’s working class as he ran - ok, shuffled - into the arms of rich liberals at his “Money Bomb” event with 5,000 ultra-wealthy Democrats at Radio City Music Hall.

Appearing on stage with the worst president in history: Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. These two were presumably summoned to shower the doddering old man struggling in the polls with their star power.

While tickets started at $250 each, rest assured that few cheapskates were in attendance. In fact, the event was full of “top ups” like $100,000 for a snapshot taken with the trio and exclusive receptions priced at $250,000 or $500,000.

Fresh off the cruel mocking of Kate Middleton that forced him to issue an almost-apology on Monday’s show after the 42-year-old mother of three revealed her cancer diagnosis,  Stephen Colbert was slated to moderate an “armchair conversation” between the three men at the “star-studded” event.

If he had any sense of shame, Colbert would have bowed out after spreading unfounded rumors about royal infidelity and causing untold pain to a woman suffering through chemotherapy.

The Biden campaign predicts it will rake in about $25 million from hobnobbing with the country’s far-left elite. That would make Thursday night’s Ode to Excess the single most successful fundraiser in history

Mindy Kaling served as emcee with musical performances from Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele.

Ironically, when asked the day before when he planned to visit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Biden said vaguely he’d go as soon as possible.

The collapsed span is 47 miles from the White House. He had to fly over it on his way to his fancy NY soirée. Perhaps one of his aides pointed it out through a break in the clouds.

Donald Trump was also in New York on Thursday. To attend the wake of New York Police Officer Jonathan Diller, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop on Monday. The 31-year-old father of a one-year old son was murdered while approaching an illegally parked car in Queens.

The suspected killer was Guy Rivera, a one-man crime spree and the poster boy for the Democrat party’s revolving door on crime. He was charged yesterday with first degree murder.

The New York Post reports that “Rivera was wounded when Diller’s partner returned fire. The suspect has 21 prior arrests and was found to have a shiv stored in his rectum during the shooting — in apparent anticipation of being sent to jail again.”

Lovely.

Biden’s aircraft landed six miles from where Diller was killed. The presidential mouthpiece, Karine Jean-Pierre, said Biden phoned New York Mayor Eric Adams to offer his condolences.

How thoughtful.

However, it appears he didn’t offer condolences to the dead officer’s widow. Perhaps if she’d tossed on a designer gown and arrived by limo at Radio City Music Hall the man who once fancied himself to be Lunchpail Joe might have found a moment for her.

The NYPD union warned New York City’s soft-on-crime council members to stay away from the funeral and spare law enforcement the sight of their “crocodile tears.”

Biden also stayed away. After all, he had a date with the left-wing’s glitterati.
