President Joe Biden also condemned the vandalism on social media Wednesday.

“The vandalism of nearly 200 graves at two Jewish cemeteries near Cincinnati is despicable. It is anti-Semitism and it is vile. I condemn these acts and I commit my administration to supporting investigators so that those responsible are brought to justice to the fullest extent of the law.”
