President Donald Trump is concerned about vandalism at Jewish cemeteries and condemns anti-Semitic and other hateful acts, the White House said on Monday.
“The president continues to be deeply disappointed and concerned by the reports of further vandalism at … Jewish cemeteries,” White House spokesman Sean Spicer told a daily news briefing.
“The president continues to condemn these and any other forms of anti-Semitic and hateful acts in the strongest terms,” he said, referring to a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia that was vandalized and other acts.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
