President Joe Biden attended the commencement ceremony at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Of course, he addressed the graduates with what sounded more like an angry speech than an uplifting and inspiring one. He repeated long, debunked lies about Georgia’s election laws and made baseless racial accusations against Donald Trump and his supporters.
Of course, not everyone warmly received Biden’s presence and speech. While there were no loud protests that disrupted the ceremonies, several students and faculty members were reportedly strongly opposed to his visit because of his handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Some were draped with Palestinian flags and keffiyehs, and others turned their backs to Biden as he spoke.
During his speech, Biden gave his usual lip service to appease both sides of the Israel-Hamas war, but it was when he wasn’t speaking that he let his true opinions out.
When valedictorian Deangelo Fletcher delivered his commencement address, he called for a ceasefire in Gaza, and Biden, who was sitting behind him, applauded.
