Trump derangement syndrome. The group doesn’t speak for the synagogue or the city. And it’s a group that called themselves a ‘resistance’ to Trump group prior to the shooting. It’s a political action group, not “Jewish leaders.” But check them run with the story anyway.
Via Daily Mail:
Jewish leaders in Pittsburgh have told President Donald Trump he is not welcome in the city until he has fully denounced white nationalism.
The President told reporters on Saturday that he wants to visit the Tree of Life Synagogue where 11 members of the congregation were shot and killed.
But a group of community leaders circulated an online petition on Sunday demanding that Trump ‘fully denounce white nationalism’ before making his visit.
In a letter addressed to the President, the 12 Jewish leaders from the progressive group Bend the Arc accuse Trump of contributing to Saturday’s tragedy.
‘For the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a growing white nationalist movement,’ the letter read.
‘You yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the direct culmination of your influence.’
Trump is accused by the group of ‘deliberately undermin[ing] the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities.
‘Yesterday’s massacre is not the first act of terror you incited against a minority group in our country,’ the letter read.
‘President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you stop targeting and endangering all minorities.’
