HUNDREDS Of Jewish Gravestones Vandalized

VANDALS HAVE
TARGETED A HISTORIC JEWISH
CEMETERY IN UNIVERSITY CITY, A TOWN CLOSE TO ST.
LOUIS,
MISSOURI.
WE HAVE A VIDEO EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED AND
SHOWING SOME OF THE DAMAGE THAT OCCURRED.
THAT I WILL FILL YOU IN ON MORE DETAILS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
>>HEADSTONES TOPPLED AT A JEWISH CEMETERY NEAR ST.
LOUIS.
THIS MORNING FAMILY MEMBERS WITH LOVED ONES BURIED HERE ARE
TAKING THE ATTACK PERSONALLY.
>> THIS IS JUST AWFUL.
I CANNOT IMAGINE SUCH DESECRATION
OCCURRING IN A HOLY PLACE LIKE
THIS.
>>I FEEL NERVOUS.
I WALK THROUGH THERE AND I FELT IT WAS JUST A
SENSELESS ACT, A FACELESS
COWARDLY, HATEFUL ACT.
THAT IS UNNERVING.
>>IT COMES AMID A RISE IN ANTI-SEMITIC ACTIVITY WITH THE
FBI INVESTIGATING A STRING OF BOMB THREATS AGAINST JEWISH
COMMUNITY CENTERS NATIONWIDE.
SINCE THE NEW YEAR, AUTHORITIES SAY 54 JEWISH CENTERS HAVE
BEEN TARGETED IN 27 STATES, 11 NEW THREATS CALLED IN MONDAY.
THIS JEWISH CENTER IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA WAS FORCED
TO EVACUATE FOR A SECOND TIME IN
A MONTH.
>> IT IS JUST HIDEOUS BEHAVIOR.
AUTHORITIES ARE INVESTIGATING
IT.
TODAY ON CNN, WOLF BLITZER HAD TWO PENDANTS ON, ONE OF
WHICH IS WAS A TRUMP SUPPORTER.
HE IMMEDIATELY BLAMED
PROGRESSIVES FOR IT.
>>BECAUSE PROGRESSIVES KICK OVER JEWISH HEADSTONES.
>> ANYWAY, IT IS INSANE.
>> BY THE WAY IF IT WASN'T PROGRESSIVE, ñ
>>RIGHT NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHO DID IT.
SO WHY DO WE IMMEDIATELY
JUMPED TO POINTING FINGERS TO
ANYONE?
LET'S HOLD ON AND FIGURE OUT WHO DID IT.
WHO CARES ABOUT
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, WHOEVER DID THIS IS WRONG.
IF IT IS A GROUP,
THEY ARE WRONG.
IT IS BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS SOME ORGANIZATION
BEHIND THE CRIME.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
YOU CAN'T HAVE
DOUBLE STANDARDS.
IF YOU GO OUT THERE AND YOU SAY DISPARAGING
THINGS ABOUT MUSLIMS, WOMEN, BLACK PEOPLE, AND YOU OPEN THOSE
FLOODGATES FOR HATE THAN THOSE WHO ARE HATEFUL WILL GO OUT
THERE AND ATTACK THOSE THEY
DON'T LIKE.
PEOPLE LIKE TRUMP OPENLY SAID TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT EVERY
MINORITY GROUP YOU CAN IMAGINE.
>> STEVE BANNON IS NOT AN ACCIDENT.
THERE IS A REASON
RICHARD SPENCER IS GOING AROUND TRUMPETING TRUMPS HORN.
I CARE
FAR MORE ABOUT STYLE WINS ELECTIONS ñ ONCE THEY ARE IN
OFFICE THE SUBSTANCE MATTERS MORE.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT
PROCLAMATIONS OR WHAT TRUMP SAYS OR WHEN HE CONDEMNS
ANTI-SEMITISM.
I AM LESS INTERESTED IN THAT.
YOU DON'T
ACCIDENTALLY LEAVE JEWS OUT OF THE HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY,
IT IS THE HOLOCAUST.
IF YOU ARE DOING THE HOLOCAUST YOU TALK
ABOUT JEWS.
IF YOU LEAVE THEM
OUT, THAT IS ON PURPOSE.
THAT IS AN INTENTIONAL MOVE.
DO PEOPLE
HEAR THAT?
IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THAT MESSAGE THEN
IT IS MEANINGLESS.
THOSE WHO ARE
INTERESTED AND BEAR SOME HOSTILITY TO JEWS, THEY HEAR
THAT.
WHEN HEADSTONES GET KICKED OVER IN A JEWISH CEMETERY IN ST.
LOUIS IT IS PROBABLY SOMEONE HOSTILE TO JEWS.
WHOEVER WAS ON
WITH WOLF BLITZER, I UNDERSTAND, THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY
PROGRESSIVES ARE DOING A FALSE
FLAG.
MAYBE, AND THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE.
BUT I WILL BET THAT
GUY IT IS ACTUALLY SOMEONE WHO
HATES JEWS.
JUST A THOUGHT, BUT THAT IS WHERE MY MONEY IS.
>> I THINK WE ARE IN THIS REALLY INTERESTING TIME IN AMERICA
WHERE PEOPLE FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE BEING TRANSPARENT
ABOUT THEIR BIGOTRY, HATE- PEOPLE THAT ARE MORE TRANSPARENT
ABOUT IT ARE MORE OUTRAGEOUS
WITH THEIR VIEWPOINTS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE TIDE WILL TURN AND
PEOPLE WILL CHANGE, THERE WAS A POINT IN AMERICA WHERE IT WASN'T
OKAY, BUT WE ARE NOT IN THAT POINT RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE AT A
POINT WHERE THAT BEHAVIOR GETS CELEBRATED.
WE GET THESE NEW
STORIES WHERE PEOPLE BEHAVE POORLY AND TRUMP WILL WAG HIS
FINGER AND SAY NO, THAT IS NOT
NICE.
I AM THE LEAST ANTI-SEMITIC PERSON YOU HAVE
EVER SEEN.
NO, BUT YOU ARE NOT.
YOU REFUSED TO DENOUNCE DAVID
DUKE WHEN HE INITIALLY SUPPORTED
YOU.
THAT KIND OF TONE WENT THROUGH HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN AND
CONTINUES ON TODAY.
IT HAS REAL CONSEQUENCES FOR A LOT OF
INNOCENT PEOPLE.
>>I AM ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW THE STORY GETS RESOLVED.
>>ONE FINAL PART, IVANKA TRUMP VERY IRONICALLY TWEETED ABOUT
RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS. AND THEN OF COURSE SHE GOT A LOT OF NEGATIVE
FEEDBACK ON THAT TWEET.
A LOT OF
PEOPLE SAYING SHE SHOULD SEND THAT MESSAGE TO HER FATHER.
>> AND TO STEVE BANNON.
I GET IT.
SHE IS IN AN IMPOSSIBLE
SITUATION.
I DON'T KNOW THAT SHE CARES, BUT SHE IS IN AN
IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.
HER HUSBAND IS THE CHIEF ARCHITECT
OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
