A BBQ was hosted at the White House as war was breaking out in Israel over the weekend.
According to the Washington Examiner, the Biden administration received harsh criticism for throwing the party amid the new conflict.
Live music was heard coming from the Rose Garden, and White House officials noted that President Joe Biden and his wife were “hosting a BBQ for White House Executive Residence staff and their families.”
The Libs of TikTok outlet criticized this on X, formerly Twitter, stating, “While Americans are currently being held hostage by hamas terrorists, Biden decided to spend his evening throwing a party at the White House. Absolutely despicable.”
