President Donald Trump tweeted out praise this afternoon for a Republican congressman for the level of “grief and sorrow” he saw from him in Pittsburgh yesterday.
The President traveled to Pittsburgh and visited the Tree of Life synagogue just days after the horrific shooting in which 11 people were killed.
Pennsylvania officials came together in mourning over the past few days, but Congressman Keith Rothfus was singled out by the President in a tweet that ended with an encouragement to vote for him:
Yesterday in Pittsburgh I was really impressed with Congressman Keith Rothfus (far more so than any other local political figure). His sincere level of compassion, grief and sorrow for the events that took place was, in its own way, very inspiring. Vote for Keith!

This comes hours after Trump dismissed the “small protest” yesterday, criticized the “Fake News,” and said “The Office of the President was shown great respect on a very sad & solemn day” in another of his tweets.
