Daniel Penny has already become a hero to many Republicans, who have trumpeted Penny as a Good Samaritan.
As for Democrats, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York tweeted before charges were filed that Neely’s “murderer” was being “protected” while “many in power demonize the poor.” New York Mayor Eric Adams called Neely’s death a “tragedy that never should have happened” but warned against irresponsible statements before all the facts are known.
“I’ve been very put off to the degree by which politicians on the left have decried Daniel Penny a murderer and politicians on the right have come out and said, ‘This is what we need to do,’ Mangual said. “I don’t want to live in a world in which maintaining public order falls to everyday straphangers.”There was no such hesitation from Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who called Penny a “hero,” or Florida Republican Rep.
Helping fuel Republican anger is the fact that Penny’s case is being handled by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is leading the prosecution of Trump on charges he paid hush money to cover up an affair during his 2016 presidential campaign. “We stand with Good Samaritans like Daniel Penny,” DeSantis wrote, including a link to a fundraising page for Penny. “Let’s show this Marine... America’s got his back.”Rev. Al Sharpton, right, and Rev. Dr. Johnnie Green, left, is seated listening as Mildred Mahazu, center, grand aunt of Jordan Neely—the victim of a deathly chokehold on a subway, speak during Neely's funeral service at Harlem's Mount Neboh Baptist Church, Friday May 19, 2023, in New York.
