More than 43,000 people have signed "You are not welcome in Pittsburgh" letter to Trump

Members of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community said they would protest against Trump. In an announcement for a protest to be held on Tuesday afternoon, organizers said, “President Trump, words have consequences.”

“The gunman who tore apart our neighborhood believed your lies about the immigrant caravan in Mexico,” the announcement read, referring to a group of migrants who are trekking through Mexico toward the United States. “He believed antisemitic lies that Jews were funding the caravan”

The announcement also echoed an open letter from a group of local Jewish leaders who told Trump: “You are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you fully denounce white nationalism.”

More than 43,000 people have signed the letter, organized and posted online by the Pittsburgh chapter of Bend the Arc, a Jewish organization opposed to what it calls “the immoral agenda of the Trump administration and the Republican Party.”

That sure beats the 65 that McConnell got from women who supposedly thought Kavannaugh is a great guy!
