President Biden never visited the Tree of Life synagogue after the 2018 massacre that killed 11 Jewish Americans, according to the White House.
On Thursday, during a virtual address ahead of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Biden claimed he visited the Tree of Life synagogue following the shooting in 2018, when a lone gunman committed what is now considered the worst attack against American Jews in United States history.
“I remember spending time at the, you know, going to the, you know, the Tree of Life synagogue, speaking with them,” Biden said.
The president’s claims of visiting the synagogue were immediately refuted by Tree of Life Executive Director Barb Feige, who said it never happened.
“In a phone interview, Feige, executive director since July 2019, said firmly that ‘no’ Biden didn’t visit, even before taking office when he had a lower public profile as a former vice president and then-Democratic presidential candidate,” reported the New York Post.
On Friday, the White House confirmed to the New York Post that the president never visited the synagogue and was instead referring “to a call he had with the Tree of Life rabbi in 2019,” which contradicts the fact that Biden explicitly said that he remembers “spending time at” the Tree of Life synagogue. Nonetheless, Tree of Life Rabbi Hazzan Jeffrey Myers told the Post that Biden did call him one year after the massacre.
President Biden kindly called me on my cell phone as I was sitting in Dulles Airport awaiting a return flight to Pittsburgh after I testified before Congress in July 2019.
Following the attack, then-President Donald Trump visited the site to pay his respects and personally met with the synagogue’s rabbi, Jeffrey Myers, who said the president exhibited a ‘warm and personal side’ unseen by the public.

Both could be true; heck, both ARE true.
In addition to the deteriorating political situation, health worries weighed on LBJ, Dallek added — something Humphrey said the president brought up in their conversation. The 59-year-old president, who had suffered a heart attack in 1955, mentioned that “all the men in his family had died in their early sixties or before,” Humphrey wrote.
You actually quoted a poll by the “PROGESSIVE INVESTOR.” Yea, I trust that. Go away anti-semite.
LBJ knew he would be clobbered because of what he did with the Vietnam war.
The polls told him.
And he got the hell out.
Thanks for that info.
Oh yes he did, and he has receipts to prove it, from the “Tree Life Strip Club.”
