Biden Finally Speaks to Campus Chaos During Holocaust Remarks, but He Says One Thing While Doing Another

On Tuesday, Joe Biden delivered remarks at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s annual Days of Remembrance ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Biden's remarks come in the face of antisemitic protests that have roiled college campuses. Many people feel that not only has Biden not spoken out enough about the issue but that he also "both sides" it by doing things like talking about Islamophobia in an attempt to appeal to leftist voters.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was at the event as well. He said Biden needed to "speak without equivocation" and said if he had spoken sooner, we might not be where we are now.

Now, I will say that the speech Biden delivered off the teleprompter was well-written and said a lot of the things that he should have said long ago. But it was a bit late, coming now. One has to think he's now saying something because the polls are probably looking bad over the fact that he hasn't said enough. And while he was saying this to a largely Jewish audience, he then does things like throw Israel under the bus in their fight with Hamas while saying, "Never forget." So he's saying one thing and doing another. He's saying "ironclad," then trying to force them to do what he wants to help his own election prospects more than their very survival.

Biden claims his "commitment" to Israel "is ironclad — even when we disagree."

As Politico noted on Tuesday:

The Biden administration is holding up shipments of two types of Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel, according to a U.S. official and six other people with knowledge of the deliberations.

So much for "ironclad."

Biden called out the attacks on Jewish students on campuses.

Yet, he didn't say anything at all that he would do or the DOJ would do to address the criminal actions or the people behind the chaos. He also didn't address the reports that some of his mega-donors were involved in the funding that ultimately helped the campus actions.

So how much are any of his words worth now? Not a lot.
