A gathering of New York law enforcement personnel loudly booed Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., on Friday, when President Donald Trump mentioned her name.

Trump was in the area to speak at the Nassau County Police Academy. 

"Nowhere is the communist attack on American society more clear than here in New York State," he said. "The radical left Gov. Kathy Hochul..."

At that moment, the entire crowd loudly booed her. Trump continued by saying she had "been very very bad on crime."

"I love this place, but it gets harder to love. It really does," Trump added, before lamenting the imposition of no cash bail policies under former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y.
