President Biden was in New York City for a very fancy fundraiser.
Biden who’s approval numbers are cratering had his campaign put together a huge event call an “Evening with the Presidents.” It featured an “armchair conversation” with former Presidents Obama, Clinton, and President Biden.
If attendees wanted a photo with the trio, prices started at $100,000, and those who spent between $250,000 and 500,000 received an exclusive invitation for a separate reception with the three men.

It was a private event, and the only footage from inside the event was taken from those who attended.

Protestors did moved to fifth Avenue and marched between halted traffic, the police kept a watchful eye. As the group of peaceful protestors moved through the streets close to Radio City Music Hall where the Biden event was at least one arrest was made.

While the presidential trio spoke pro-palestinian protestors disrupts the event.
“Shame on you Joe Biden! Shame on you! Shame on you! You are f****** genociding Palestine and no amount of false concern that you do will change the [inaudible] that you are doing! You have blood on your hands! Blood on your hands!”
Obama did responds stating, “you can’t just talk and not listen. That’s what the other side does.”
Biden once again tried to play the middle stating there are “too many innocent victims, Israeli and Palestinian. It’s understandable Israel has such a profound anger and Hamas is still there But we must, in fact, stop the effort that is resulting in significant deaths of innocent civilians, particularly children.”

Around the same time former President Trump attended the wake of a fallen NYPD officer who died in the line of duty.
Even, Trump’s most ardent opponents admitted what took place in the New York area made Democrats look really bad.
Even Bill Kristol is willing to admit the optics of the day favored Trump.
He stood with the police while Biden catered to Hollywood’s elite as members of his fractured party stood outside chanting for the extermination of Jews. https://t.co/ABhJC3IMoT
