Upon finishing his remarks at the White House in which he condemned the anti-Israel protests that have been rocking American college campuses, a reporter asks whether the demonstrations have led him to reconsider any of his policies regarding the Middle East.
“No,” he responds.
Asked whether he’s thinking of deploying the National Guard to restore order on college campuses, Biden responds, “No.”
