Trump had faced mounting criticism for not speaking out on the matter, and some Jewish leaders said Tuesday that his remarks in Washington were still insufficient.<\/p>\n<p>Pence made his unadvertised visit to the cemetery shortly after delivering a speech at a distribution point of Cat construction equipment in Fenton, Mo. Both the cemetery and the business are located in the suburbs of St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of his speech on the economy, Pence also paused to address the cemetery vandalism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We condemn this vile act of vandalism and those who perpetrated it in the strongest possible terms,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>A groundskeeper arrived Monday morning to find gravestones overturned across a wide section of the cemetery, the oldest section, bearing the remains of Jews who died between the late 1800s and the mid-20th century.<\/p>\n<p>While at the cemetery on Wednesday, Pence also heard a prayer from a rabbi and joined Gov. Eric Greitens (R) in clearing brush.<\/p>\n<p>After Pence&#8217;s visit, one of the groups that had been critical of Trump&#8217;s response to the vandalism issued a statement praising the vice president.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, Vice President Pence proved to be the ultimate mensch by visiting, and even cleaning, the desecrated Jewish graves in St. Louis,&#8221; said Steven Goldstein, executive director of the Anne Frank Center. &#8220;Through the Vice President&#8217;s visit to St. Louis today, this administration finally showed America the kind of response our nation was waiting for all along &#8211; a response filled with proactive heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio ng-scope layout-column\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio ng-scope layout-column\">(c) 2017, The Washington Post \u00b7 <span class=\"ng-binding ng-scope\">John Wagner<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Mike Pence made a stop Wednesday at the Jewish cemetery in Missouri where close to 200 gravestones were toppled over the weekend in the latest act of anti-Semitic violence, which has been on the rise across the country. &#8220;From the heart, there&#8217;s no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3507,"featured_media":100073,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
