(PartiallyPolitics.com) – Fox News host Kaleigh McEnany argued during the talk show “Outnumbered” that she was unwilling to give President Joe Biden credit for having condemned the pro-Palestine demonstrations that have brought chaos on college campuses across the country. Some of the protests against Israel’s war in Gaza have gotten violent.
During the show, McEnany argued that Biden is a Democratic left president and that he would not be giving him any credit today. She added that she was only intending to give Biden credit when his credit was due.
On Thursday Biden spoke to reporters outside the White House where he slammed the pro-Palestine protests who have clashed with law enforcement officials on several campuses across the country, including Columbia University and the University of California.
Biden had argued that it was at times like this that people always rushed to try and win political points, but in this case, this was not about politics. Instead, he argued that it was about clarity and that violent protest was never protected, the only thing that has protection is peaceful protest. He continued by stating that the destruction of property is against the law and that forcing classes to be canceled, universities to be shut down, trespassing, and destroying windows. As Biden pointed out this could not be considered a peaceful protest and as such was not protected.
Former President Donald Trump, who is expected to face off with Biden in the 2024 presidential election, has previously slammed Biden over the way he is handling the crisis and even claimed earlier this week that the demonstrators on university campuses were being handled with more gentleness than those who had attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
