Protesters interrupt Biden's speech with chants for Gaza


A Biden campaign rally focused on abortion rights was interrupted 13 times Tuesday by anti-war protesters criticizing the president's handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

During President Joe Biden's speech, a protester shouted 'Genocide Joe,' while another called for a 'cease-fire now.' A separate demonstrator held a sign that read 'let Gaza women live,' and yet another waved a Palestinian flag.

'They feel deeply,' Biden said in response to a protester.

Reached for comment, a Biden campaign official said the event was a great speech.

The interruptions came a day after protesters used a similar tactic to disrupt a rally for former President Donald Trump in New Hampshire on the eve of the state's primary.

Biden has previously faced anti-war protesters interrupting his events, as well as protesters outside his speech sites.
