President Joe Biden has spoken for the first time after violence and arrests during demonstrations at multiple American universities.
Biden addressed the nation today condemning violent protests at American universities, although he defended the right to peaceful protest.
In a brief speech at the White House, President Biden said that 'violent protest in the United States is not protected by law, peaceful protest is protected.
"Destroying property, threatening people, preventing others from accessing the University is not a peaceful protest. Events at universities test two basic American principles, the first is the right to free speech and for people to assemble peacefully, the second is the rule of law. Both must be kept," said Biden.
Biden went on to say that Americans should have the right to be heard, but that the rule of law should be upheld.
"Anti-Semitism or hate speech has no place on campuses or in the United States," President Biden said, responding to criticism from mostly Jewish students and supporters of Israel that pro-Palestinian protests have become centers of hatred toward Israel and Jews in general. " , said Biden.
While leaving the hall where he delivered the speech, President Joe Biden answered briefly with "No" to the question of journalists if he will engage the National Guard to control the protests that have spread throughout the country.
