The Hill: Vice President Pence on Wednesday made a surprise visit to a historic Jewish cemetery near St. Louis to condemn the recent vandalism that took place there.
“From the heart, there is no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice or violence or anti-Semitism,” he said.
Pence called Missouri’s response to the incident “inspiring” while standing next to Eric Greitens (R), the state’s first Jewish governor.
Pence decried the vandalism as “a sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil” during a speech earlier Wednesday in St. Louis.After his remarks at the cemetery, the vice president and the governor listened to a prayer from a rabbi and then cleared brush with volunteers taking part in a beautification project.
Vandals toppled more than 100 headstones on Monday at the Chesed Shel Emeth Society cemetery in University City, a suburb of St. Louis.
The incident added to questions about a rise in acts of anti-Semitism around the country. MORE

you decide
So, change all of the religion connotations to “Christian” and what have you got?
Not a goddamn story.
Can you imagine Biden doing that?
There are a few old beautiful Jewish cemeteries around midtown. They get vandalized to an extent every year (& it always makes it into the local paper). The neighborhoods they are in now are very dangerous & very black. Pro-tip: a white nationalist is not sneaking into the most dangerous hood in STL (The Ville) to strike against the Jews. Moreover, I think it’s iffy that a white fellow could get in & out at night when the locals are all up without getting shot in the face.
Frankly I’ve never been a big fan of Pence. That superficial goodie two shoes act is a bit much. The politician shows through. I just don’t trust him.
VICE PRESIDENT Mike Pence’s boss PRESIDENT Trump is such an anti-semite. Just ask CNN!
At TMZ, there’s a video and article where Andy Cohen is saying that a muslim group cleaned it up.
