Biden on Thursday broke days of silence as police crack down on campus encampments protesting the war in Gaza.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Thursday defended the right to protest but insisted that “order must prevail” as college campuses across the country face unrest over the war in Gaza.
“Forcibly taking over a building," such as what happened at Columbia University in New York,"is not peaceful," she said."It’s just not.” “We need the president of the United States to speak to the issue and say this is wrong," House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, said on Tuesday."What’s happening on college campuses right now is wrong.”
“Biden has to do something,” he said. “Biden is supposed to be the voice of our country, and it’s certainly not much of a voice. It’s a voice that nobody’s heard.”“The radical extremists and far-left agitators are terrorizing college campuses, as you possibly noticed," Trump said. “And Biden’s nowhere to be found. He hasn’t said anything."
Apart from condemning antisemitism, the White House has been reluctant to directly engage on the issue.Asked whether protesters should be disciplined by their schools, she said “universities and colleges make their own decisions” and"we’re not going to weigh in from here.”
