'Disgusting': JD Vance condemns Temple Israel attack, calls suspect 'terrorist'
USA TODAY
Authorities have described the March 12 synagogue attack as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.
Vice President JD Vance called the man who rammed his truck into Michigan's Temple Israel a "terrorist" while speaking near the synagogue, as investigators hunt for a motive in the attack that wounded a security guard and set a fire that sent preschoolers in the temple fleeing.
“When something happens to any member of our American family … it is something that all of us have to stand up and say, it’s disgusting, it’s unacceptable and we’re not going to tolerate in the United States of America," Vance said March 16 during a stop in Auburn Hills, Michigan, north of Detroit.
Authorities are still investigating the attack and have not yet described it as terrorism.
