The White House announced that Emhoff, who has been among the most visible and outspoken Biden administration officials on combating antisemitism at home and abroad, would attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Tree of Life campus.
The synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood was home to the deadliest antisemitic attack in the United States, in which 11 worshipers were killed by a gunman driven by hatred of Jews. The space will include a new place of worship, a museum devoted to studying the hatred of Jews in the U.S. and a memorial to the victims.
The June 23 event will include community leaders, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who will serve as the ceremony’s host.
FEH!!
Stay home, punk. You attacked Israeli response in Gaza. You piece of—-
I’m in shock, though I shouldn’t be. Why in the world would a synagogue ask this person to speak at a groundbreaking ceremony where anti semites killed so many people??? The husband of our vice president– a vice president who clearly does not support Israel. Shame on you!!! Mamish Shame on you. And the synagogue members went along with this shameful act?
In what way is Doug Jewish? What makes him Jewish?
Why? they should have asked their U.S. Senator, who openly supports Israel and spoke out against those who attempted to degrade Israel!
Like he’s anyone to listen to or respect!
He’s the second lady of the ayatollah Joes regime..
