Biden Reacts to Pro-Palestinian Protesters: ‘They Have a Point’

President Joe Biden responded to pro-Palestinian protesters who interrupted his health care speech Tuesday, saying, “They have a point.”

Two protesters were escorted out of the venue in Raleigh, North Carolina, after they cut Biden off mid-remarks, shouting, “What about the health care in Gaza?”

“Everybody deserves health care,” Biden said as the protesters yelled that hospitals in Gaza were being bombed and alleged that he was “complicit in genocide.” He asked the audience to “be patient with them.”

“They have a point,” Biden said after the protesters were escorted out. “We need to get a lot more care into Gaza.”

Members of the audience cheered and gave him a standing ovation.

Pro-Palestinian protesters were also gathered outside the event space, a relatively common occurrence for Biden in recent months.
