Today the president finally weighed in on the violent protests taking place at nearly 200 universities across the country, which have forcibly removed students, threatened Jewish students with violence, broken doors and windows and laws, set up encampments and engaged in rampant vandalism. None of this falls under the auspices of free speech, and Biden was correct to say so today. But it’s too little and too late. He’s not about to do anything meaningful to change any of this. The pressure campaign from these protesters has worked — it has pushed the administration to continuously undermine Israel’s ability to defend itself and the widespread endorsement of BDS is now essentially the mainstream position of the Democratic Party. The squad has won the argument thanks to a president unwilling to challenge them on basic aspects of policy. And Americans don’t like it, not one bit. You don’t need to see the numbers on the UNC frat GoFundMe to know that.
Joe Biden ran to heal the nation’s soul and sold his along the way. And that’s why today, he’s losing.
