Democrat protest erupts against Biden and the White House is freaking out
Biden’s list of allies is dwindling every day. Now the Leftist mob is coming after him.
And a Democrat protest erupted against Biden and the White House is freaking out.
The White House angrily condemned young Democratic demonstrators who dubbed President Joe Biden “Genocide Joe” for his unwavering support for Israel in its struggle against Hamas.
While defending free expression, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told New York Post reporter Steve Nelson that the nickname “Genocide Joe” was improper.
“We’re not worried about nicknames and bumper stickers. I mean, it’s First Amendment free speech. The president’s focused on … making sure that we can continue to support Israel as they fight a terrible terrorist group, Hamas,” Kirby said.
Kirby believes the term “genocide” has been misused, considering Hamas’ desire to exterminate Jews.
“People can say what they want on the sidewalk, and we respect that. That’s what the First Amendment is about. But this word genocide is getting thrown around in a pretty inappropriate way by lots of different folks,” he said.
“What Hamas wants, make no mistake about it, is genocide. They want to wipe Israel off the map. They’ve said so publicly on more than one occasion, in fact, just recently. And they’ve said that they’re not going to stop,” he added.

Kirby predicted that terrorists would conduct crimes like the one on October 7 “again and again and again.”
He also addressed the large number of civilian deaths in Gaza, claiming that Israel was “not trying to wipe the Palestinian people off the map.”
“Israel’s trying to defend itself against a genocidal terrorist threat. So if we’re going to start using that word, fine, let’s use it appropriately,” he said.
As the New Yorker recently pointed out, the far-left has been harshly criticizing Biden for his constant support for Israel.
“Like all crises, the war has nonetheless revealed something important about our politics—a rift between the Democrats’ young and increasingly left-leaning base and an old-fashioned liberal of a President who is turning eighty-one on Monday,” it noted.
“A party divided against itself will only have a harder time standing up against Trump—or Xi for that matter,” it added.
“Biden, as the drama of recent weeks has reinforced, is and will remain a proud and unyielding son of the twentieth century. Is it enough, in this age of TikTok, to give him another go?”
The Democrat Party has a major problem on their hands when it comes to the Israel-Palestine war.
On one hand, many Democrats have Jewish heritage and families that live and work in Israel.
On the other, there are radicals like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar who have either refused to condemn Hamas or outright supported them.
It’s sizing up to be a party breaking conflict.
