The Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York, the largest police union in the New York City Police Department, endorsed Donald Trump on Friday in what the union’s leader said was the first such political affirmation the organization has given in at least nearly four decades, Just the News reported.

PBA President Patrick Lynch said at the event in Bedminster, New Jersey that he has “36 years on this job, 21 as the president of this fine organization”, declaring: “I cannot remember when we’ve ever endorsed for the office of President of the United States until now. That’s how important this is.”

“Now many times people say that a union like ours, law enforcement groups, give endorsements– not in the New York City PBA, sir. In the New York City PBA, Mr. President, you earn the endorsement, and you’ve earned this endorsement. I’m proud to give it,” Patrick Lynch announced.

While President Trump spoke during the event, he slammed his opponent, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) telling the police officers “she’s a step worse, Kamala.”

“I was sort of hoping he was going to pick Pocahontas…she’s another beauty,” he said referring to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

“We got names for all of them. What’s better Sleepy Joe or Slow Joe?” President Trump asked the group of officers, prompting the crowd to cheer louder for “Sleepy Joe”. Video Below
