saddening

Min released a statement saying the recent display of anti-Asian hate was “saddening, but not surprising,” noting that it happened a few days after a Donald Trump rally in Huntington Beach on Saturday.

Nick Merriman, chief executive of English Heritage, said the vandalism was "deeply saddening".
