Antisemitism is Ugly Tweet
From Wednesday…
The vandalism of nearly 200 graves at two Jewish cemeteries near Cincinnati is despicable.
— President Biden (@POTUS) July 3, 2024
This is Antisemitism and it is vile.
I condemn these acts and commit my Administration to support investigators in holding those responsible accountable to the full extent of the law.
NBC News reported on Wednesday that; Nearly 200 gravestones at two Jewish cemeteries in Cincinnati were vandalized, the Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati and the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati said. The vandalism occurred at the Tifereth Israel and the Beth Hamedrash Hagadol cemeteries in the Covedale Cemetery complex, most likely between June 25 and Monday. The vandalism was discovered early Monday.
The FBI is investigating the vandalism. No arrests have been made.

In 1861, President Lincoln created an award to honor ordinary citizens who showed extraordinary courage to save our Union.

It is now known as the Medal of Honor.
And today, I awarded it to two patriots who gave their lives for freedom: Private Wilson and Private Shadrach. pic.twitter.com/BSYssAtDOO
