Biden is interrupted at least 11 TIMES by pro-Palestinian protesters as abortion rights speech in Virginia with Kamala, Jill and Doug Emhoff descends into chaos

President Joe Biden fired up Democrats at a “Restore Roe” rally in Northern Virginia on Tuesday, hoping to address the issue that has kept Democrats competitive — but was repeatedly interrupted by anti-Israel protesters.

Biden planned a camera-ready event in which he and other speakers took direct and repeated shots at Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nomination was on the line in the New Hampshire primary.

One by one, protesters interrupted him, forcing the president to pause his remarks as security removed them from the venue, which was decorated with pro-choice signs and spotlights.

‘This is going to take a while. They planned this,” Biden said in frustration after the seventh such interruption.

He was joined by the audience, who shouted “Four more years!” chanted. and ‘Let’s go Joe!’ after the interruptions, during which he was repeatedly accused of ‘genocide’.

“Please don’t jump!” Biden joked after the tenth interruption, by a woman holding a sign about Gaza during Israel’s war against Hamas.

“There’s another person who has no idea about the power of women in America, and that’s Donald Trump,” Biden said in one of the lines he was able to deliver without being cut off.

Another protester shouted about “keeping baby food from babies” and called it a war crime, referring to the fighting in Gaza after the Israeli invasion following the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel.

‘Keep going!’ a member of the crowd cheered the president on.

It was a demonstration of the difficulties Biden must overcome as he tries to unite his party’s base amid a growing challenge from Trump. Polls show support among younger voters is slipping and there is little support for his handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The event was carefully planned by a forward-thinking team, and timed just as the national media was focusing on Trump’s matchup with Nikki Haley in New Hampshire.

A total of five speakers read from a teleprompter, with Biden rattling off his criticism of Trump, whom he defeated in 2020.

“There’s another person who has no idea about the power of women in America, that’s Donald Trump,” he said, referring to his predecessor who was able to confirm three conservative justices to the 6-3 conservative court that struck down Roe. .

“Donald Trump is betting you won’t vote on this issue. But guess what? He’s betting we won’t hold him accountable either,” Biden said.

“He bets you don’t care anymore. That you are distracted, discouraged, that you stay at home.’

‘Guess? I bet he’s wrong,” Biden said.

Activist group Code Pink claimed credit for orchestrating the protests, but DailyMail.com was unable to verify the claim on Tuesday evening.

Biden wasn’t even present for voting in the first-in-the-nation contest in New Hampshire after shuffling the party calendar to make South Carolina the first contest endorsed by the Democratic Party.

But Tuesday’s event made it clear that the campaign was still very much on his mind, as his campaign team packed a room in Manassas, filled a stage with mostly young female voters and erected a large “RESTORE ROE” banner to mark the 51st anniversary. of Roe v. Wade.

“Across our country, women are suffering,” Vice President Kamala Harris said at the meeting. ‘And let’s be very clear about who is responsible. Former President Trump hand-picked three Supreme Court justices because he planned for them to overturn the case. His intention was for them to take away your freedoms. He is the architect of this healthcare crisis. And he’s not done yet. And the extremists aren’t done yet.

Persistent fractures were also seen outside the event, where protesters chanted “Genocide Joe” as the president’s motorcade rolled in, and several people poured pink fake blood on the snow.

First gentleman Doug Emhoff and first lady Jill Biden each spoke at the event, with Emhoff describing the time his wife told him the news that Roe had been overturned.

“We were both furious and we knew we had to put that anger into action,” he said.

‘Do we all still feel that outrage today? I know I do,” he said.

‘They won’t stop. What they are doing is immoral. What they are doing is wrong. We must all stand up for the dignity and freedom of all Americans,” Emhoff said, a day after Harris kicked off her “reproductive freedoms tour” with a speech in Wisconsin.

‘Everything is at stake. Our rights are at stake. Our future is at stake,” Emhoff said, after saying, “Donald Trump… And the extreme MAGA Rs have created this new reality where families live in fear and doctors worry about helping patients.”

Amid polls showing low public approval ratings for Biden and lower enthusiasm for him among Democrats than Trump enjoys among Republicans, the crowd in Virginia cheered for “Four more years!”

In her own remarks, Jill Biden told a story about visiting and sheltering a friend who had an abortion after her friend became pregnant in high school. She said the friend was asked to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before a Pennsylvania doctor performed the procedure.

She said she asked her mother, “Can she come stay with us?” My mother didn’t hesitate. Of course she can. And my mother never told anyone. Actually, we never talked about it again. Secrecy, shame, silence, danger and even death – that is what defined that time for so many women. And thanks to Dobbs, we’re back there again.

“We’re not going to let the extreme MAGA Republicans win this battle, are we?” she asked the hundreds of people, who responded with a “No!”
