i joined with the president, first lady, governor hochul, senator gillibrant and other local officials to meet with relatives of those killed where the supermarket where it happened and to grieve with the community that's been ripped apart by unspeakable violence. there is no single word to encapsulate what it was like to visit the tops supermarket, to lay down flowers in honor of the dead and to meet the families whose lives have been forever, forever torn apart. it was equal parts sorrow for the innocent victims we've lost, it was grief for the families that must carry on. today i met a young boy only three years old who lost his dad on saturday because his dad was at the store buying his kid a birthday cake. it was also anger that somebody could act with such horrible evil. and yet, despite all that, it was hope. hope that somehow, some way, this beloved community will find the will and the grace and the courage to cohere. i know in my heart of hearts that they will. to the people in buffalo i met today, i'll say this, all of new york and all of america, stands with you in this hour
