President Joe Biden may be a little bleary-eyed after spending Tuesday night in his former hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
For three hours, a group of about six anti-Israel protesters chanted with a loudspeaker outside of his hotel.
The group gathered around 9 p.m. and stayed until just after midnight, chanting a series of slogans including “Genocide Joe has got to go,” “Murder,” “Wake up sleepy Joe,” and “I am your nightmare, Biden.”
Along with the shouting, the group blasted the 1976 Thin Lizzy hit “The Boys Are Back in Town” and rap music. They also banged on drums and used other noisemakers to try to keep the president awake. It is unclear if Biden heard them or not.
Since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks triggered the latest conflict between the group and Israel, protesters have trailed the president nearly everywhere he goes, including fundraisers, family vacations, and even funerals.
In recent weeks, Biden has tilted his stance on the matter more toward their cause, demanding an “immediate ceasefire” in the conflict earlier this month. But that does not seem to be slowing down the protest movement.
