Biden’s trip was met by about 300 people protesting the vice president’s Turkey visit. They chanted, “Biden get out. The country is ours.” Biden did not see the protest, which occurred while he was en route to a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The protest was organized by the Youth Association of Turkey, the same outfit that targeted three U.S. Navy sailors last week in Istanbul with chants of “Yankee, go home!” The protesters threw paint on the sailors, who were not injured. The sailors were from the USS Ross, a guided-missile destroyer then docked on an inlet of the Bosphorus Strait in the Black Sea.
