Daniel Penny Speaks Out on Subway Killing and Race Allegations

Daniel Penny, who has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in the killing of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway, spoke publicly about the episode for the first time in an interview with The New York Post. Penny gave few details about the confrontation, but said it was unlike anything he had experienced before. Despite not having spoken publicly since the encounter, Penny has been embraced by conservative political figures, including Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a likely Republican presidential candidate who called him a good Samaritan and urged his followers to donate to a campaign for Penny’s legal defense.
