President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will travel to Pennsylvania on Tuesday in the wake of Saturday’s mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue, the White House announced.
During a rare news briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday said the Trumps are visiting "to express the support of the American people and grieve with the Pittsburgh community."
Sanders became emotional while delivering a lengthy defense of Trump's feelings toward the Jewish community, noting he is "the grandfather of several Jewish grandchildren."
"The president cherishes the American Jewish community for everything it stands for and contributes to our country," she said.
Sanders called the killing of nearly a dozen worshippers at the Tree of Life congregation as an "atrocity" and "a chilling act of mass murder."
