  • Let’s highlight the actual points in this article instead of taking Hexbear at their word:

    emphasizing that violent protest is not protected under the law.

    Biden emphasized that “peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues”

    “Whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans, it’s simply wrong… In America, we respect the right and protect the rights for them to express that, but it doesn’t mean anything goes. It needs to be done without violence, without distraction, without hating and within the law.”

    The president also said “no” to a separate shouted question asking whether he thinks the National Guard should intervene in the campus protests.

    To summarize, he respects their right to protest and called for nonviolence without citing any side in particular. Notable that there have been violent counter-protestors.
