NEW YORK CITY – NYGOP Chair Ed Cox released the following statement today in response to the criminal indictment of Daniel Penny just one day after radical Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg cut a deal for a lenient sentence with a criminal who carried out a vicious anti-Semitic hate crime, and said from a jail cell that he would “do it again”:
“Daniel Penny is a hero and these criminal charges are a miscarriage of justice.
“This is the radical left in action: cutting deals with an unrepentant anti-Semite while pursing to the maximum extent of the law a US Marine who acted to defend his fellow citizens against a violent mentally ill man.
“This is an insult to all New Yorkers, especially our Jewish community, and an affront to the rule of law itself.”
