    Remember when Biden condemned the brutal police response against the BlackLivesMatter protest? That’s when Trump was in office and Biden was running against him. He stated there must be a right to assembly and freedom of speech. Yet when he’s put in a similar situation, it’s no different. The US is accelerating their decline to further line the pockets of the ruling class. It’s legitimately horrendous!

    In moments like this, there are always those who rush in to score political points. But this isn’t a moment for politics.

    Pro Palestinian protests

    The president stressed that violent protests are not protected under the law

    Still won’t admit these are anti genocide protests, and obviously does not care about the “counter protestors” who attacked UCLA students.

    The beatings will continue until moral improves.

    What i figure from this is that the only reasons the Democrat party doesn’t win more often in the US, is that they’re really, really, really bad at their jobs.

    Like take Hillary for instance. She only lost because she managed to look more incompetent than Trump. Now Trump is doing his darnest that no one will be more incompetent than him, but by all the starts in the universe, genocide Joe will give him a run for his money

    Stay tuned for the election with the worst presidential candidates that the US could produce. It’s so embarrassing, i fear my face might freeze in the cringe.

      Hilary has negative charisma and being a Democrat woman for her was also a negative. The woman part was the worst.

      These are not my feelings about her (well, the negative charisma is) but just my view on why she had little chance versus Don Cheetos.

    Let’s highlight the actual points in this article instead of taking Hexbear at their word:

    emphasizing that violent protest is not protected under the law.

    Biden emphasized that “peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues”

    “Whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans, it’s simply wrong… In America, we respect the right and protect the rights for them to express that, but it doesn’t mean anything goes. It needs to be done without violence, without distraction, without hating and within the law.”

    The president also said “no” to a separate shouted question asking whether he thinks the National Guard should intervene in the campus protests.

    To summarize, he respects their right to protest and called for nonviolence without citing any side in particular. Notable that there have been violent counter-protestors.

    “Violent protest is not protected — peaceful protest is," the president said. “It’s against the law when violence occurs. Destroying property is not a peaceful protest.”

    The president also said “no” to a separate shouted question asking whether he thinks the National Guard should intervene in the campus protests.

    The President is condemning violent protest and destruction of property here. It is still disheartening that this hasn’t changed his stance on Israel/Palestine.

      Do note the Violent protesters" and “destructors of property” are the zionist infiltrators, not the antigenocide protesters. But Biden is so old, apparently everyone look the same to him.

        You people always make the same excuses.

        “No! It’s not the people I align with who are violent! It’s the paid actors! No, it’s the Feds!”

        You have absolutely no evidence that all of the violence is being committed by “zionist infiltrators”.

    President condemns illegal activity and antisemitism, supports protests. I’d be surprised by anything else.
