US president says Palestinian rights demonstrators outside the party convention in Chicago ‘have a point’.
Chicago, Illinois – United States President Joe Biden’s send-off speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was often interrupted by adoring chants of “Thank you, Joe.”
But outside the convention halls on Monday, thousands of protesters held signs accusing Biden of war crimes and referring to him as “Genocide Joe” in response to his support for Israel’s war in Gaza.
Biden paid a nod to the protesters in his address, saying that they “have a point”.
“A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides,” he said.
