    Sean Spicer said Tuesday during a press briefing that President Donald Trump’s administration rejects “these latest anti-Semitic and hateful threats in the strongest terms.”

    The JCC of North America and the Anti-Defamation League reported receiving threats Tuesday.

    Since Jan. 9, federal officials have been investigating more than 120 threats against Jewish organizations in three dozen states and a rash of vandalism at Jewish cemeteries. On Friday, they arrested a Missouri man accused of making at least eight of the threats nationwide.

    Spicer says as long as the threats continue, the administration will keep condemning them and look at ways to stop them.
