The Biden White House and campaign are working hard these days to avoid angering the pro-Hamas wing of the Dem Party with the election just over six months away, and as a result we can expect to keep seeing this kind of question dodging from Karine Jean-Pierre and others when it comes to what’s been happening on many university campuses:
Don’t worry, y’all.

As usual, KJP’s philosophy is “just try to lie your way out of a question you don’t want to answer”:
DOOCY: How does [Biden] explain Biden’s silence this week?
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: “The president has not been silent!”

Now imagine the reaction from the White House if the “protesters” we’ve been seeing were on the Right.
Had no problem speaking out against Charlottesville, which they remind us of everyday.
Now he’s president and can’t speak out to Jews being blocked on college campuses and held against their will. because of a few thousand votes in Michigan. He’s always been a soulless… https://t.co/WGrtxQOdSx

And we get the usual, “meh, the president’s monitoring the situation” from the White House.
Why is he MIA since Saturday evening?

The White House staff is keeping Biden nice and surrounded these days so he can be fairly hard to spot.
With all that’s happening in the country right now, @JoeBiden’s tweet from 2020 has been making the rounds again:
Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency.

Care to provide any updates on this rule, President Biden?
Thinking of this true classic again tonight https://t.co/nslcB9okhe

It’s a doozy!
Remember: every example of violence Joe Biden decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency.

Maybe at the next briefing Peter Doocy should read that 2020 Biden tweet to KJP and get her reaction.
