President Trump acknowledged the 'horrific tragedy' at a synagogue on Thursday as he led a Hanukkah celebration at the White House five weeks after a deadly attack on Jewish Americans. 'Fourteen — 11 — Jewish Americans were brutally murdered in a sinister anti-Semitic attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh,' the president said, stopping to correct himself after an attendee made him aware that he'd incorrectly stated the death toll.

The president noted that he and Melania visited Pittsburgh to pay their respects. Trump said congregants 'were incredible people, the way they stood up so bravely, so proudly' and defended their faith. 'In the aftermath of that wicked assault, we reaffirmed our solemn duty to confront anti-Semitism everywhere it occurs,' Trump declared. 'We must stamp out this vile hatred from the world.'
