Biden broaches Israel-Hamas war during DNC speech: ‘Folks down the street have a point’

CHICAGO – President Biden broached the elephant in the room – or rather, several blocks away from the stage.

“We’ll keep working to bring hostages home and end the war in Gaza and bring peace and security to the Middle East,” Biden declared.

“Those folks down the street have a point: a lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides,” he added.

Anti-Israel protesters have stormed the streets outside the convention, railing against Biden for supporting the Jewish state.
