“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.
