What point is that exactly, Joe?
During Monday night’s DNC remarks, President Biden took a moment to acknowledge the thousands of anti-Israel protesters gathering outside the United Center outside the convention.
“Those, those protesters out in the street, they have a point,” Biden told the crowd. “A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides.”
“We’re working around the clock,” Biden said. “To end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people and finally, finally, finally deliver a ceasefire and end this war.”
“We’re working around the clock. My Secretary of State, to prevent a wider war and reunite hostage to their families and surge humanitarian, health and food assistance into Gaza. Now. To end the civilian suffering of the Palestinian people and finally, finally, finally deliver a cease-fire and end this war.”

Chicago police say they are “prepared” for all demonstrations.
“The U.S. Secret Service, along with its federal, state, and local partners, respects the right of the public to demonstrate. We make no distinction on the purpose, message or intent of any particular group,” Chicago police told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“The Chicago Police Department, as well as other partners, are prepared to manage demonstrations, enabling groups to express their First Amendment rights safely. If individuals or groups decide to act unlawfully, plans have been put in place to efficiently and safely address them.”
