Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday afternoon visited the Chesed Shel Emeth Society, a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis that had been vandalized over the holiday weekend.

“We condemn this vile act of vandalism and those that perpetrate it in the strongest possible terms,” Pence, a Christian, said on behalf of the Trump administration. “I spoke words earlier today in St. Louis that were from the heart. There is no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice or violence or anti-Semitism.”
