LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fox News anchor Sean Hannity's condemnation of President Biden's response to anti-Israel protests across the United States has ignited a wave of criticism on the internet.

Hannity, known for his outspoken conservative views, lambasted Biden's reaction as "pathetic" during his show, 'Hannity'.

In his impassioned commentary, Hannity highlighted the ongoing anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses nationwide, painting a grim picture of the situation.

Anti-Israel protests rock college campuses amid clashes and arrests

Hannity remarked, "Anti-Israel protests continue to rage on college campuses all across the country. It is more clear now than ever before: The inmates are absolutely running the asylum at colleges and universities."

Describing scenes from Los Angeles, where police intervened to disperse an anti-Israel encampment at UCLA, Hannity emphasized the gravity of the protests.

He recounted incidents of arrests and clashes with law enforcement, including protesters at Portland State using cut-up trash cans as makeshift shields.

"Early this morning, protesters were rounded up. Police were seen removing the masks that were used to hide the protesters... and their identities. Ultimately, more than 200 were arrested. Meanwhile, protesters at Portland State actually charged at police officers and look at them — they're using cut-up trash cans as makeshift shields. Can't make this up!"

Sean Hannity blasts Joe Biden's response to escalating violence

Hannity's criticism extended to President Biden, whom he accused of being slow to address the escalating violence. "Now, of course, our fearless leader — Joe, your president in the White House — is as always a day late and a dollar short," Hannity remarked, suggesting that Biden's response was inadequate given the severity of the situation.

"The pressure finally got to him, and he broke his long silence on the protests... The statement was frankly pathetic," Hannity added, reflecting on Biden's belated response.

Joe Biden condemns anti-semitism and hate speech on college campuses

However Joe Biden said, "Let's be clear about this as well. There should be no place on any campus, no place in America, for anti-Semitism or threats of violence against Jewish students. There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it's anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans. It's simply wrong. There's no place for racism in America. It's all wrong. It's un-American."

Hannity further said, "Remember, Joe Biden, you know, lifted the sanctions, even purchased oil from Iran and allowed Iraq to give them $10 billion and wanted to give them $6 billion in a ransom exchange. Meanwhile, before heading into court this morning, well, former President Donald Trump offered this harsh rebuke of the protesters. Maybe Joe can learn a thing or two."

Donald Trump warns against radical left movement

Trump said, "And just so you understand, this is the radical left. This is a movement from the left, not from the right. The right is not your problem. Don't worry about the right. The right's fine. Worry about the left because this is a movement from the left. These are radical left lunatics. And they got to be stopped now because it's going to go on and on and it's going to get worse and worse. And, you know, they take over countries, OK? And we're not letting them take over the USA. We're not letting the radical left morons take over this country.You can't let that happen."

The internet swiftly reacted to Hannity's remarks, with social media users expressing a range of opinions. While some echoed his sentiments, others criticized his characterization of Biden's actions, arguing that the president faced complex challenges in addressing the protests.
