President Donald Trump reportedly said "sometimes it's the reverse" when asked about the wave of recent anti-Semitic incidents across the country. Trump made the comments to a group of state attorneys general on Feb 28. "He just said, 'Sometimes it's the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,' and he used the word 'reverse,' I would say two to three times in his comments," Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said. "He did correctly say at the top that it was reprehensible." Shapiro said Trump would be speaking about the issue during his address to Congress on Feb 28. "I really don't know what he means, or why he said that,” Shapiro said, adding that he hopes the president will clarify the remark.
