“Still reeling from the horror and grief after Saturday’s massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue, Pittsburgh is now dealing with something else: the barbed politics of the 2018 midterms and widespread opposition to President Trump’s plan to visit here Tuesday,” the New York Times reports.
“Jewish leaders said that President Trump, who announced he would visit here on Tuesday, was not welcome in Pittsburgh and accused him of stirring up extremism.”
“Mayor William Peduto, who strongly rejected Mr. Trump’s suggestion that armed guards in houses of worship are the answer to violence, warned that the president would be a distraction from funerals taking place.”
