Cross on Biden: He Emphasized Peaceful Protest, Which I Would Argue Was the Majority of the Protests Across College Campuses

RUSH EXCERPT:
CROSS: "I think he absolutely struck the right tone. In President Biden’s comments earlier this week, he talked about the vigilance we all need to have in protecting First Amendment right, free speech, assembly, how protests have been a defining moment for this country and the pursuit of and the protection of the democracy on which our country stands. However, violent act, acts of aggression, lawlessness, is not a part of that. So he emphasized peaceful protest, which I would argue have been the overwhelming majority of the protests we’ve seen across these college campuses. They have been peace informal the same ways that the Black Lives Matter protest was demonized by many people on the right as well as several in the media, we’re seeing it happen with these campus protesters as well. They are utilizing their right to free speech. They are standing their ground. They are positioning themselves as the leaders when it comes to not only acknowledging the atrocities happening in Gaza but also putting a spotlight on the On the American — the Americans who are funding it, quite frankly, acknowledging that this administration could do more to reduce some of those casualties, at least by not sending money to Israel for the bombs they are using to not only erad Kate a population but also to continue displacement. We’ve seen the famine and hunger, and quite frankly, hundreds of thousands of people who have died who are innocent civilians."
