Pro-Palestine protesters disrupt Joe Biden's fundraiser with ‘Genocide Joe’ chants, Internet says 'they must reap what they sow'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pro-Palestinian protesters took to the Democratic fundraising event on Saturday night, harassing supporters of President Joe Biden as they entered and exited the party.

The high-profile fundraiser in Los Angeles, held at the Peacock Theatre, featured A-list celebrities including George Clooney and Julia Roberts. According to the Biden campaign, the event raised $28 million even before it began.

X accounts affiliated with the LA protesters posted videos and photos of the gathering outside the fundraiser. The demonstrators held signs referring to President Biden as “Genocide Joe!” and displayed images of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu kissing Biden, symbolizing US support for Israel amidst the ongoing conflict with Hamas.

 “We are here today to remind Biden and everyone attending that there is no business as usual,” chanted protesters outside the gala, featuring an appearance by former President Barack Obama. As guests exited the event, protesters began harassing them, shouting, “Shame on you!” and accusing them of supporting genocide in Gaza. In response, Democratic supporters chanted back, “Let’s go Biden!”

The fundraiser offered various exclusive experiences, including front-row seating, a photo-op with Biden and Obama, and an invitation to the fundraising after-party.

In the past months, President Biden has faced vocal criticism from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party regarding US policy on the war in Gaza.

College campuses have become hotspots for protests, with more than 200 encampments popping up across the nation. Members of Biden’s administration have also been confronted; notably, Vice President Kamala Harris had her interview with Jimmy Kimmel interrupted by protesters shouting, “15,000 children dead because of you!”

Internet reacts to Joe Biden fundraisers

"Looks like the line to get in is 100% white people," added a user.
