The mayor and police commissioner blasted President Trump on Friday evening for his “outrageous” statement on crime-fighting in the Big Apple, daring the president look NYPD cops “in the eye” and tell them they’re “soft on crime.”

“This absurd statement needs to be renounced immediately,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said during a press conference at One Police Plaza.

The mayor then addressed Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“Come here to New York city and look police officers in the eye and tell them they’re soft on crime.”

Police Commissioner James O’Neill said that his “blood began to boil” when he read the statement from the Justice Department.

The department claimed the city “continues to see gang murder after gang murder” something it called “the predictable consequence of the city’s ‘soft on crime’ stance.”

“To say we’re soft on crime is absolutely ludicrous.,” O’Neill said incredulously.

“I locked up over 1,000 gang members in 2016. Maybe we should ask them if we’re soft on crime.”

O’Neill added: “It’s incredibly insulting.”

The comments came in the wake of repeated threats by the Trump Administration to pull federal funding from cities who they claim provide “sanctuary” to illegal immigrants.
