They met with Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, who leads the congregation. But amid the tragedy, the visit didn’t bridge all political divides.
Protesters held signs such as “We didn’t invite you here” and “Trump [hearts] Nazis,” according to reports from the White House press pool.
Others held up a middle finger or gave a thumbs-down. Other protesters shouted, “Words have meaning” and “No more hate.”
