Activists Throw Objects At Biden During Ireland Stop

During a visit to Ireland, former President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, were encircled by a mob of anti-Israel activists. Objects resembling milk cartons were thrown by demonstrators at the president’s security detail. Outside Trinity College Dublin, this alarming incident occurred as former first son Hunter Biden received an honor for his “Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse.”

While former President Biden was being led toward his waiting vehicle, protesters started throwing items at his security team. Aides deployed an umbrella to prevent at least one object from striking near the Bidens. At a specific moment, officers tackled a furious activist who seemed intent on approaching the motorcade. Local police arrested two people at the scene, per Fox News.

Chants and Confrontations

Multiple protesters were seen waving Palestinian flags during the chaotic event.

The protesters declared they would not be “complicit in genocide” and stated that Biden was “not allowed on campus.” While Joe Biden was visiting, there was a pro-Palestinian protest against him on the campus, accusing him of “genocide.” The car was then attacked by the pro-Palestinian activists, who threw things at the car and tried to get to it, per RedState.

A Frail Visit

The elder Biden, of Irish heritage, made this unexpected visit to Ireland while fighting prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. According to local media, the ex-president looked weak and moved with difficulty throughout the ceremony. RedState reported that Hunter received the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse from the College Historical Society.

Fox News noted that an object thrown near Biden was deflected by an umbrella. This terrifying event took place outside Trinity College Dublin, where former first son Hunter Biden was recognized for his “Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse.” Irish police reportedly made at least two arrests, per the New York Post.
