Tree of Life rabbi 'pleasantly surprised' by Trump visit: 'Very warm, very consoling'
The Washington Times ^ | November 1, 2018 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 11/01/2018 8:47:03 AM PDT by jazusamo

Rabbi Jeffrey Myers of the Pittsburgh synagogue targeted in an anti-Semitic attack that left 11 people dead told CNN Thursday morning that he was “pleasantly surprised” by President Trump’s visit Tuesday because he was able to witness the “warm and personal side” of the president that the rest of America often misses out on.

“The president was very warm, very consoling,” Rabbi Myers told “New Day” anchor Alisyn Camerota.

“He put his hand on my shoulder and the first question he asked me was, ‘rabbi, tell me how are you doing?’ And I must say, throughout the time we spent together, I was pleasantly surprised by a warm and personal side to the president that I don’t think America has ever seen,” he said.

God bless President Trump, Melania Trump and Rabbi Myers.

The anti-Trump media can't spin what's in their hearts.

Anyone who pays attention - and doesn’t just have a knee-jerk reaction - knows that Trump has a soft spot. He’s shone it over and over again. People just buy into what the media says about him rather than seeing with their own eyes.

Boy, the CNN reporterette sure looks pissed! Guess she's not getting the response from the rabbi that she expected.

“God bless President Trump, Melania Trump and Rabbi Myers.”

Yes! It’s long past time for our Jewish population to do as the Blacks are doing and leave the “RAT Plantation!”

I would say that Rabbi needs even more extra security right now.

Trump has to have a large circle of Jewish friends.
It would be impossible to grow-up in New York and not have.

Exactly, Camerota didn’t get the answers she was after, Rabbi Myers ruined her planned hit job.

I don’t even care what the Rabbi’s personal politics are. He was decent enough to accept Trump’s condolences in the manner with which they were intended.

He has brought us one step back closer to civilization.

I wonder if Rabbi Myers understands that in saying that he's set himself up for more death threats!

I can tell you living here in the ‘Burgh, the mood here is we want no politics in this when it comes to tragedy. I have many liberal friends here and to a man and woman, they thought Trump’s visiting here was appropriate and what the town needed. The tiny minority that wanted to stand on the dead bodies of the Tree of Life victims and politic were in my social circle roundly criticized. The Mayor Peduto was petty and showed just what an ass he was by not meeting Trump. He got criticized for it and backtracked and his sycophants began with the excuses. Peduto is a fat as* clown

You will find more human virtue in your septic tank than you will on CNN.

The people objecting to Trump’s visit were the usual activist whackjob suspects from the nearby universities. Those are Mayor Peduto’s peeps. They pretty much lead him around by the nose.

Hence perfectly good roadways get turned into bike lanes and we spend all of our energy worrying about “diversity” instead of picking-up garbage and fixing potholes.

Yep, Trump has a soft spot just like Reagan and Dubya and even people like Rush Limbaugh for that matter.
