Pittsburgh Synagogue Member Scolds Mitchell: ‘Stop Trying to Politicize Every Aspect of This’
By Kyle Drennen | October 29, 2018 3:39 PM EDT

Appearing on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports on Monday, Lou Weiss, a congregant of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh that was attacked by a gunman over the weekend, lectured the liberal news anchor on “trying to politicize every aspect” of the tragedy by blaming President Trump for the violence. He told Mitchell that such efforts only lead to a “dead end.”

The exchange began by Mitchell asking: “And Lou, it does occur – and this is a really hard thing to talk about and I know it’s controversial – but it’s not just our political leaders, because we see thousands of people at rallies, starting in 20 16 and straight through to this weekend, who are cheering hateful speech.” She followed: “Who are we as Americans?”
