Joe Biden Pelted In Ireland

What happened

Pro-Palestinian protesters threw objects, including what appeared to be milk cartons, toward former President Joe Biden as he left a ceremony honoring his son Hunter in Dublin on Tuesday.
Joe and Jill Biden attended the Trinity College Dublin event, where Hunter received a gold medal for his contribution to public discourse.
During a question-and-answer session, Hunter condemned Israel’s conduct in Gaza after a student challenged his father’s record, saying there was “no excuse” for what happened.
Hunter stopped Secret Service agents from removing the student and defended his father as trying to make the best decisions with the information he had.
The family left safely, according to the college; police said three men were arrested, with two released without charge and one charged and due in court.

How the left told it

Left-leaning outlets were represented here by Mediaite alone, which highlighted both the milk-throwing confrontation and Hunter Biden’s response to the Gaza protest. Its latest headline emphasized Hunter’s condemnation of the war as “Mass Murder,” while the article also noted his defense of his father’s decisions.

How the right told it

Right-leaning outlets emphasized the confrontation and disorder surrounding Biden’s departure, often describing protesters as agitators or a mob. Fox News called them “anti-Israel agitators,” while the New York Post’s headline labeled them “Unhinged.” The Daily Wire also mocked the decision to honor Hunter Biden for public discourse.
