During a recent speech in Charleston, South Carolina, Biden found himself interrupted by a group of pro-Hamas protesters. And boy, was he stunned! Biden was delivering his speech at the historically black Mother Emanuel Church, the same place where nine worshippers were tragically unalived. You’d think such a solemn location would warrant some respect, right? Well, not for these protesters.
The interruption began when an angry woman yelled, “If you really care about the lives lost here, then you should honor the lives lost and call for a ceasefire in Palestine” at Biden. This outburst was soon followed by others chanting, “Ceasefire now!” Talk about a mood killer.
But here’s the kicker: after the protesters were removed, Biden actually sympathized with them! He said, “I understand their passion, and I’ve been quietly working with the Israeli government to get them to reduce and significantly get out of Gaza.” Really, Joe? Is that why your administration has been so quiet on the escalating violence in the Middle East?

And let’s not forget about the rest of Biden’s speech. He started off by claiming he was involved in the Civil Rights Movement – a claim that’s been debunked time and again. Then he went on to spread lies about how “the truth was under assault in America” by conservatives. Oh, the irony!
He even had the gall to call the violent BLM/Antifa riots of 2020 a “historic movement for justice,” while his administration continues to lock up peaceful grandmas for participating in the January 6 protests. Talk about a double standard!
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Biden speech without a verbal gaffe. At one point, he tried to pronounce the word “government” and failed miserably. But hey, at least he’s consistent, right?
All in all, it was quite the spectacle. Pro-Hamas protesters shutting down Biden mid-speech, and Biden responding with sympathy and a slew of lies. Just another day in the Biden administration, folks.
