GOP demands Biden condemn the 'hate-filled little Gazas' at colleges

Daily Mail  

Republicans are demanding President Joe Biden personally condemn the 'hate-filled little Gazas' that have popped up at college campuses all over the country. At the White House press briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that Biden had done his part - despite not answering questions about the college demonstrations or addressing it in a speech or public appearance. White House spokesman Andrew Bates put out a statement Tuesday after Columbia University students and some outside agitators took over Hamilton Hall and hung a banner that read 'intifada,' among other signs. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby called forcibly taking over a building on Columbia's campus 'absolutely the wrong approach' when asked about the demonstrations during a Tuesday morning press call.
