Former President Joe Biden did not receive a warm reception Tuesday during his visit to Ireland alongside former first lady Jill Biden.
A crowd of anti-Israel agitators hurled insults and at least one object at the former president’s motorcade.
Biden, 83, made a surprise appearance at Trinity College in Dublin. This is where his son, Hunter Biden, accepted the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse, The Independent reported
A crowd of agitators gathered outside the venue while the event took place.
As Biden left the building, someone threw an object which was blocked by an umbrella near Biden. Local police arrested two people at the scene.
Video posted online shows the crowd chanting, "Blood, blood, blood on your hands!"
Biden was escorted into a waiting vehicle; his motorcade quickly drove away. The agitators then heckled the police officers at the scene.
"Shame on you!" they said.
Throughout his presidency, Biden faced intense criticism from progressive Democrats, human rights advocates, and anti-Israel activists regarding how he handled the Israel-Hamas war and his administration's unwavering support for the Jewish state.
Critics called him "Genocide Joe" for his continued U.S. military assistance to Israel, arguing that defense funding enabled Israeli forces to kill and displace civilians in the Gaza Strip.
