NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Comedian and actor Michael Rapaport made headlines this week after unleashing an impassioned rant against New York City's immigration problems, suggesting he may vote for Donald Trump in 2024 if the issues aren't addressed, as reported by New York Post.

Rapaport, a vocal critic of the former president, slammed the Biden administration for being tougher on foreign policy than domestic issues like immigration. His fiery video quickly went viral, sparking praise from conservatives across social media.



 

Michael Rapaport on immigrants attacking cops in Times Square

Rapaport's rant stemmed from a recent incident in New York City where a group of migrants attacked police officers in Times Square. Surveillance footage showed the officers wrestling with and getting kicked by several men before arresting them. Shockingly, after the assault on law enforcement, the migrants were released without bail.

This prompted outrage from Rapaport, as some of the suspects even taunted authorities on their way out of court. "Let me tell you something, what the f*** is the world coming to if you could be from another country, beat up a cop in New York City and walk out with no f****** bail?" Rapaport fumed in his viral video.



 

He blasted the Biden administration for being seemingly more concerned with foreign policy than the migrant crisis plaguing American cities.

While President Joe Biden issued an executive order regarding Israeli settlements the same day as the attack, Rapaport noted he has been silent on the issue of migrants assaulting police officers and being released in New York.

Rapaport laments NYC's decline, threatens to vote Trump in 2024

The comedian became increasingly incensed at the idea that migrants could "beat up cops in the 'greatest city in the world' and be released without bail." This prompted him to question whether New York is still deserving of that title.

"Are we the greatest city on earth? Cadaver Joe Biden, we see you! We f****** see you!" Rapaport yelled directly at the camera. He ended his viral rant with a stern warning to the Biden administration and Democrats, threatening to vote for Trump if these problems aren't addressed quickly.

"Maybe my city is not the greatest city on earth anymore if you could beat up cops – If you could beat up cops in the 'greatest city in the world' and be released without bail," he stated. "This is why when I say voting for pig d— Donald Trump is on the table, voting for pig d— Donald Trump is on the table!"
