Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters descending on Washington over the weekend, marching on the White House, defacing multiple statues and wrapping Palestinian flags around a statue of Benjamin Franklin. The demonstrations came in response to President Biden's continued support of Israel in the country's war against Hamas, with some protesters being heard chanting 'F--- Joe Biden' outside the White House.
Meanwhile, acting Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith released a statement saying that the department works to respect peaceful protests. 'The Metropolitan Police Department handles hundreds of protests, demonstrations, and other events every year, and we support and facilitate people safely and peacefully exercising their First Amendment right to protest,' Smith said.
Demonstrators are beginning to disperse from the area and the attempted gate trespass from earlier was handled without incident by Secret Service Uniformed Division officers and support teams,' Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, said in a statement. 'As of now, no arrests have been made by Secret Service personnel.'The Secret Service did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
