The White House addressed concerns on Wednesday regarding President Joe Biden's response to campus protests by highlighting his strong stance against antisemitism. White House press secretary emphasized that Biden has been a vocal advocate in combating antisemitism, stating that no president has spoken more forcefully on the issue.
While Biden has not directly addressed the ongoing campus protests, the administration assured that he is closely monitoring the situation and receiving regular updates. The White House condemned the forcible takeovers of campus buildings, emphasizing that such actions are not peaceful.
The press secretary reiterated the importance of ensuring the safety of students and communities while denouncing antisemitism as hateful speech. She emphasized that the disruptive actions on campuses are being carried out by a small percentage of students and should not interfere with the academic experience of others.
Looking ahead, it was announced that President Biden will deliver the keynote address at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's annual days of remembrance ceremony next week. This event underscores the administration's commitment to remembering the atrocities of the Holocaust and standing against antisemitism.
