I appreciated the President’s call from Air Force One offering assistance following the tragic shooting in @cityofpoway - I told him Poway will stand together and wrap our arms around the victims of this senseless, hateful act.

Charleston, Pittsburgh, Quebec, New Zealand — now our own Poway, California.
No one should ever fear going to their place of worship.

We condemn in the strongest terms the evil & cowardly shooting at Chabad of Poway today as Jewish families celebrated Passover. No one should be in fear in a house of worship. Antisemitism isn’t just wrong - it’s evil. https://t.co/hkLOCf0anp

This is a tragic day for San Diegans and Americans everywhere. An attack on the Jewish community - or any religious group - is an attack on all Americans. My full statement on the Chabad of Poway synagogue shooting: pic.twitter.com/FzgbitL6rk
