ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA: During a visit to Pennsylvania on Friday, January 12, President Joe Biden was heckled viciously by swing-state voters.

Residents of Allentown yelled "Go home, Joe!" and "You're a loser!" as the 81-year-old Commander-in-Chief strolled inside a bicycle store, according to a pool report.



 

Shortly afterward, demonstrators vehemently opposed Biden's endorsement of Israel's offensive against Hamas terrorists in Gaza and vowed to hold him accountable come November elections, per a report from the New York Post.

"We will remember in November," the throng chanted near a firefighter training center, adding, "No vote for genocide Joe."

What happened while POTUS was away from White House?

President Joe Biden arrived in Pennsylvania to talk about his ‘Bidenomics’ economic plan while visiting several small businesses in the state.

During the president's visit, he tried his hand at retail politics, swinging by a trio of Pennsylvania stores including a shoe store, bicycle shop, and coffee house to emphasize the value of small businesses and tout his economic record.

During a weekend trip to Camp David in Maryland, the President refrained from delivering his prepared remarks.

Meanwhile, fencing contractors were observed near the White House installing fences in preparation for a large anti-Israel protest on Saturday, January 13.

This march follows a previous incident in November when a group of activists vandalized the executive mansion's gates with red handprints and anti-Biden graffiti.

While on the trip, President Biden spoke briefly with journalists about his decision to order airstrikes on the Iran-allied Houthi-led government of Yemen.

These strikes were in 6 for attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

During his visit to the aforementioned shoe store, the President made a quip at the press's expense, asking the store owner, “Would you give them running shoes so they can take off?”  

This comment, made in jest, comes after President Biden faced criticism from journalists for giving relatively fewer interviews and press conferences over the course of his term.
