Opinion
First Lady Jill Biden was criticized during a campaign stop in Arizona over the weekend. During her speech, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted her several times, accusing her and President Biden of supporting genocide.
Dr. Biden was stressing the importance of withdrawing from the vote in 2024, when a group of far-left Hamas supporters began taking verbal blows.
“It’s genocide!” a man screeched during his speech. “You and your husband support the genocide of the Palestinian people!”
Members of the pro-Biden crowd began a counter-chant of “four more years.”
“We will approach this moment as if our rights are at risk, because they are,” Biden said before being interrupted once again by hecklers.

Jill Biden hears it from the pro-Palestinian left
Pro-Palestinian protesters were eventually removed from the event and Jill Biden resumed her campaign speech.
This isn’t the first time the First Lady has been mocked in public. In 2022, she was hit by people who objected to her husband’s performance at the White House while she hit up a local ice cream shop in Connecticut.
“Your husband is the worst president we have ever had, you owe us gas money,” a man shouted as he entered the Arethusa Farms ice cream shop.

Some cynics suggest that the criticism in Arizona might not have been so aggressive if she had cordially referred to her friends in the crowd as “breakfast tacos.”
During that insult, Dr. Biden also mispronounced the word “bodegas.”
“Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bogedas (sic) of the Bronx, as beautiful as the flowers of Miami and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength “, he said.
Once again, Dr. Jill Biden butchers the Spanish language to pander to a client constituency (the FKA National Council of La Raza). I hereby bless your timelines with Dr. Jill’s depiction of “bodega.” pic.twitter.com/Z4FSXtlUMe

The criticism highlights a big problem for President Biden
The pro-Hamas protesters highlight an important but often sidelined issue for President Biden and his 2024 presidential re-election bid.
Far-left voters, especially younger ones, strongly disapprove of the way the Biden administration has handled the conflict in the Middle East.
A late December poll shows that 61% of voters disapprove of the president’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, while only 39% approve.
As you can see from the protests, they are very animated by the situation.
X media host Tucker Carlson described Jill Biden as “notoriously dim-witted and dim-witted.”
He has also mocked Jill and her “doctor” title in the past.
“Jill Biden is not a doctor, no. Maybe in the same sense that she is Dr. Pepper,” Carlson previously joked. “In 2007, at age 55, you earned a doctorate in education, so you have the same degree as Dr. Bill Cosby.”
Wild for sure, but then again it was at least a little nicer than Carlson’s friend Hunter Biden described it.
