Protests during President Biden’s visit, protestors calling to free Palestine [Video]

President Joe Biden made his second visit to Milwaukee, in less than four months on Wednesday, March 13.

The visit to Milwaukee was met with passionate protests, led by the Wisconsin Coalition for Justice (WCJ) aimed to underscore the urgency of addressing the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.

“We need to do our best to stand against what our government is roping us into and allowing by giving our tax dollars to Israel,” Samantha Doucas, a protester declared. “It continues to be the same and the longer this goes on, I think the more and more people are just going to get emboldened.”

Taking up nearly the entire block, protestors sought to drown out the president’s messages of success in infrastructure with what they deemed a more important call to action.

The disapproval of the Biden administration’s decisions regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict was evident among the gathered demonstrators, reflecting sentiments echoed in a recent Associated Press poll.
