New York Governor Kathy Hochul faced significant backlash after being asked to leave the wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, with attendees reportedly shouting "Get Her Outta Here!". Hochul, who had been previously advised by the police union president not to attend, was ejected from the event amidst vocal objections. The incident has sparked widespread discussion, with some criticizing Hochul for what they perceive as a lack of respect towards the police force and the grieving family. Additionally, it was reported that both Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James sought invitations to speak at the funeral but were rejected after a viral video showed Hochul attempting to enter the Massapequa funeral parlor against the family's wishes, as the Diller family was closing the late officer's casket. In response to the controversy, Hochul defended her decision to attend, stating that no one told her to leave. Reports also emerged that Hochul's visit was a brief 10 Minute Photo-Op before leaving.
