The investigation into the horrible shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh that left several people dead and others wounded is in its early stages, but that, of course, hasn’t stopped those desperate to score political points:
P.s. If your automatic reaction to a tragedy, especially before knowing any facts, is to consider how you can use it to attack your political opponents or advance your political cause, you are a despicable and shameful person.

Here is a good example. @juliaioffe is a bad person. This is not something to imitate or cheer on. pic.twitter.com/81owhFAXch

Yep, right on cue:
And a word to my fellow American Jews: This president makes this possible. Here. Where you live. I hope the embassy move over there, where you don’t live was worth it.

Unfortunately that’s entirely not unexpected:
Did you just blame a man whose daughter is an Orthodox Jew–the same one you were fired for attacking–for murdering Jews? https://t.co/zfB6S02fYX

Rationalizing terrorist attacks on Jews to own anyone who acknowledges Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel. Vile and disgusting. https://t.co/zfB6S02fYX

This is a disgraceful and cowardly statement https://t.co/9c63gOcGwW

A truly rotten hot take from a Jew who hates Trump so much she’s willing to stand over dead Jews to make a horrible political point. https://t.co/atJeI0Zc73

You’re part of the problem. Not the solution. You’re a bad person.

The worst take of an already horrific day. This take is straight from the anti-Semite masquerading as anti-Zionist playbook—“The Jews of America must pay for Israel.” Horrific. Just stop. https://t.co/GrBPOWIfSY

Unreal.
What she's saying is that Jews brought this on themselves for being too pro-Jewish. https://t.co/2S59AkVi7z

Or something.
Imagine saying this in the wake of a Jihadi attack under Obama—hope your “hope and change was worth it.” Gross. https://t.co/mE0P5lqR1t

The opportunistic Left will always exploit tragedy to push vindictive, ignorant and hateful political rhetoric.
Always. https://t.co/VwfuJzczT6

It’s a shame.
