It's actually a bunch of Democrats who happen to be Jewish. Trump needs to go and pay his respects. People weren't vocal about Obama going to Dallas after their shooting. Maybe people are just nicer in Dallas than they are in Pittsburgh, I dunno. Anyway, I think most of us expect presidents to go.

Mitch McConnel, Paul Ryan, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein all refuse to go with Trump. Even Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto said not to come and he went anyway.

What a total A**, the mayor asked him not to come, but of course he ALWAYS does the exact opposite! No one wanted that disgusting INSINCERE PHONY to pull his 'political stunt' in their city!
One good thing, the voters of PA will remember what a hate-mongering creep he is, next TUESDAY!
