Pro-Palestinian protesters made it into a star-studded fundraiser for President Joe Biden.
On Thursday, former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton attended a swanky fundraiser in New York City in an attempt to gin up enthusiasm around the current occupant of the White House.
However, video showed pro-Palestinian protesters heckling them.
In one video Biden was heard speaking about the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“Shame on you, Joe Biden! Shame on you! Shame on you! You are pushing genocide in Palestine and no amount of false concern…” one protester was heard shouting from the back of the room.
She added, “There’s blood on your hands!”

NBC News reported of the fundraiser, “The rare and highly anticipated gathering of three Democratic presidents will raise over $25 million, according to a release by the Biden campaign, which is characterizing it as the most successful political fundraiser in American history.”
It added, “Some of the biggest donors will have the opportunity to have their pictures taken with the three Democratic presidents, shot by famed portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. The cheapest tickets have sold for $250, with the largest contributions coming from people who gave $250,000 and $500,00.”
