Pres. Trump speaks out against anti-semitism

U.S. President Donald Trump is vowing to continue to try to bring a divided America and to stamp out anti-semitism.

His remarks came after 11 Jewish community centers around the United States received bomb threats, with anti-semitic attacks on the rise since the beginning of the year.
