A White House fence was vandalized with red paint Saturday night as pro-Palestinian protesters shook the gate to an entrance to the executive mansion, some chanting “F–k Joe Biden,” the New York Post reported.
According to social media posts, protesters also covered the statue of General Marquis de Lafayette in nearby Lafayette Park with graffiti and Palestinian flags.
The demonstrators were protesting the Biden administration’s support of Israel in the war against Hamas. Some were heard shouting “F–k Joe Biden” outside the White House.
