Anne Frank Center Condemns Trump's Anti-Semitism Comments in Legendary Facebook Post

Following yet another wave of bomb threats that hit 11 Jewish community centers on Feb. 20, President Donald Trump has finally responded to the news. Trump offered a statement after a tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Feb. 21 and a day after his daughter Ivanka Trump tweeted about a need for increased religious tolerance in America.

"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centers are horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil," Trump said, according to CNN.

Trump's response came hours after Hillary Clinton called him out on social media for not speaking out about the uptick in anti-Semitic incidents throughout the country. Clinton tweeted at Trump, writing, "JCC threats, cemetery desecration & online attacks are so troubling & they need to be stopped. Everyone must speak out, starting w/ @POTUS." (This is the first time Clinton has directly addressed Trump on Twitter since his inauguration, though she has been subtly throwing shade at him without using his name.)

Steven Goldstein, the executive director of the Anne Frank Center, responded to Trump's comments on Facebook, calling them a "Band-Aid on the cancer of Antisemitism that has infected his own Administration" and a "pathetic asterisk of condescension." Goldstein pointed to the Trump administration's past actions, including how there was no mention of Jews or anti-Semitism in the official White House statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and said Trump should have responded much sooner.

What's more, during POTUS's first solo press conference earlier in January, he had a rather disastrous interaction with a Jewish reporter. The reporter posed an important question about anti-Semitism in America, and Trump bashed him for not asking a "fair question."

Now we can't help but wonder: Did Trump only respond to the recent bomb threats because Clinton called him out for not doing so on social media? And is Trump actually "the least anti-Semitic person" like he claimed in his press conference? We'll leave those up to you to decide.
