“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg is not happy former President Donald Trump attended the funeral of slain New York City police officer Jonathan Diller.
On Tuesday, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin noted Trump attended the funeral and said it was a “brief, good political moment for a Republican.”
“He attended a slain NYPD officer’s funeral to juxtapose, you know, what he was framing as Biden hobnobbing with celebrities,” she continued. “Choose what you like there. But, for Republicans it was good imagery.”
Goldberg interjected to ask, “Really?”
“I was so offended because you know who showed up… whether he was asked or not. This is a man who didn’t care what happened to the officers on Jan. 6,” she added.

Whoopi thought it was bad optics for Trump to attend the funeral of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller and good optics for Biden to attend a fundraiser instead.

Griffin seemed to agree with her point about Jan. 6 and reiterated she believed it was good optics, but added that Trump “[stepped] on it a minute later” by sharing a “dangerous” photo of President Joe Biden.
She referred to a post that depicted Biden tied up in the back of a truck.
Last week, Trump attended the wake of Diller who was shot during a traffic stop.
Diller, who had a wife and one-year-old son, later died at a hospital.
Biden traveled to the city for a fundraiser that had been scheduled ahead of time and did not attend the wake.
