In the face of pro-Hamas protests on college campuses across the country, President Joe Biden finally addressed the chaos from the White House on Thursday. This comes after much criticism for initially burying his comments in a written Passover statement. Biden emphasized that while peaceful protest is protected, violent protest and vandalism are not. He also mentioned Islamophobia and expressed concern for the safety of Jewish students who have been targeted during these demonstrations. Following his statement, Biden left for another campaign event in Delaware.
In contrast, former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back in his response, calling the protestors “radical left lunatics” and vowing to stop them. He emphasized that the radical left poses a significant threat and must be dealt with, dismissing concerns about the right as unfounded. This sharp contrast in approach highlights the differing perspectives on the handling of the situation, with Biden focusing on protecting free speech and Trump taking a more aggressive stance toward the protestors.
Trump Gives the Response America Really Needs to Terrorists on Campus!
These masked people need to put their masks down and GET BACK TO SCHOOL!! "Vandalism, trespassing, shutting down campuses, none of this is a peaceful protest". Thanks so much, Joe.https://t.co/a3IEygrJaQ
