“As he spoke, a few dozen protesters camped out on Fifth Avenue during rush hour, blocking the venue for Biden’s third fundraiser in protest of his support for Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip in response to Hamas terrorists killing some 1,200 people and kidnapping about 250 others in an Oct. 7 surprise attack,” noted the

“Protesters wore shirts that said ‘Jews say ceasefire now!’ and were cleared out in time for Biden to arrive at the home of his third wealthy host, Maureen White, whose husband, Steven Rattner, manages billionaire former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s fortune,” it added.
The event, which was also attended by actor Robert De Niro, went on as scheduled after police cuffed protesters, roughly a dozen for disorderly conduct.
“I’m not even supposed to be here right now. I called out just to make sure I didn’t miss this,” one woman protester told the
Post
. “We will not let this warmonger drive around our streets and our city like he is not causing death and destruction in our name.”
“While he is in our city, he will feel nothing but disruptions,” he added.
Before the protest, during his second fundraiser at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel near Columbus Circle, Biden said that another Trump term would produce a “nightmare.”
“Imagine the nightmare of Trump’s return,” he reportedly said. “You’re the reason Donald Trump is a defeated former president. And you’re the reason we’ll make Donald Trump a loser again.”
