President Trump and members of Congress on Sunday voiced outrage at the knife attack that injured five people at the home of a Hasidic rabbi in New York state, calling for unity in condemning anti-Semitism — even as some Democrats urgently pressed Trump to take a stronger public stand on the issue.
Congressional leaders, rank-and-file members of both parties and most of the Democratic presidential contenders steered clear of politics as they tweeted statements Sunday morning and afternoon denouncing the stabbing in Monsey, N.Y. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she was “deeply disturbed” by the attack and called for Americans to “condemn and confront anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry and hate wherever & whenever we see them.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) described the stabbing as “another terrible reminder that the fight against hate and bigotry, especially anti-Semitism, is far from finished, even right here at home.”

Denounce black supremacists for their hate.
Why aren’t they asking Omar to attenuate her remarks? I despise Democrats, and feel that those Jews who support them and vote for them are encouraging these types of horrible acts.
The Demonrat anti-Semite party sez whut ?
How about condemning black violence and racism against white people?
Given the back-to-back black attacks on Jews in a matter of weeks, maybe Trump could ask the Congressional Black Caucus to condemn anti-semitism.
Where is the Democrat outrage and condemnation when Christians are attacked?
The attack was by a Black man who is reported to be a recent Muslim convert. the real question people have to ask, why are Jews 5 times more in danger of being attacked than any other city in the USA? Just look to the mayors office and then you will understand
She IS deeply disturbed. Sometimes babbles, thoughts wander.
Funny Lisa Murkowski said she herself was ‘disturbed’ by McConnell’s coordination with White House on impeachment. A RINO. Must be going around with these ditzy brained types.
Getting an opponent, such as Trump, who has nothing to do with the attack or with antisemitism, to respond as if he has some sort of control or influence over the perpetrators, is their way of confirming the misbeliefs they have cultivated among their base [and planting the same myths in anyone not paying close attention to events] that some or all of the responsibility for the attack is Trump’s. They’re trying to make him the chief of sinners.
It’s like a cleric in Iran demanding confessions from a rape victim, or the peculiar communist trait of demanding self criticism and confessions to imaginary crimes from dissidents they have put in the gulags.
Trump should demand they denounce coup plotters.
Pure BS!
To every Democrat reading this: GFY, times 10!!!!
It’s like OJ being mad and looking for Nicole & Ron’s killer.
I wonder how many how many reading the Washington Post article know that the attacks are being carried out by black assailants?
I am in the 24% group of good Jews who voted for Trump. As all know by now my brain filters everything by politics. The victims of the black leftist's machete attack were Orthodox Jews which means they are even more pro-Trump than Evangelicals. I strongly and unequivocally oppose the Jews who support Democrats. There is good and there is evil and they are evil in their actions on Earth. Subject to repentance and a plea for mercy from God as we all are.
The President tweeted the following:
The anti-Semitic attack in Monsey, New York, on the 7th night of Hanukkah last night is horrific. We must all come together to fight, confront, and eradicate the evil scourge of anti-Semitism. Melania and I wish the victims a quick and full recovery.

White people are murdered every day in the country by hate-filled blacks whipped into anti-white hyesteria by dems and their media puppetmasters, but I have yet to hear any politician of either party condemn those crimes.
