The executive director of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pa., is contesting President Biden’s claim that he visited the synagogue after a white supremacist shot and killed eleven worshippers in October 2018. Biden claimed to have visited the synagogue in the wake of the attack during a Thursday Zoom call marking the Jewish High Holidays. Biden says "“I remember spending time at the—you know, going to the—you know, the Tree of Life Synagogue, speaking with the—just—it just is amazing these things are happening—happening in America,” according to a White House transcript of the call sent to reporters. Biden also mentioned his own connections to American Jews, noting that his daughter has a Jewish husband. “My daughter married a Jewish young man. And—you know, dream of every—every Catholic father that she marry a Jewish doctor,”
