First Lady Jill Biden was heckled at a campaign stop in Arizona over the weekend. During her speech, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted her multiple times, accusing her and President Biden of supporting genocide.
Dr. Biden was stressing the importance of getting out the vote in 2024 when a group of far-left supporters of Hamas began taking verbal jabs.
“It’s genocide!” one man screeched during her speech. “You and your husband support the genocide of the Palestinian people!”
Pro-Biden members of the crowd began a “four more years” counter chant.
“We are going to meet this moment as if our rights are at risk, because they are,” Biden said before being interrupted by hecklers once again.

Jill Biden Hears It From The Pro-Palestinian Left
The pro-Palestinian protesters were eventually removed from the event and Jill Biden resumed her campaign speech.
It’s not the first time the First Lady has been heckled in public. In 2022, she was hit with people objecting to her husband’s performance in the White House while hitting a local ice cream shop in Connecticut.
“Your husband is the worst President we ever had, you owe us gas money,” one man yelled as she walked into the Arethusa Farms ice cream shop.

Some cynics suggest that the heckling in Arizona might not have been so aggressive if she cordially referred to her friends in the crowd as “breakfast tacos.”
In the process of that insult, Dr. Biden also mispronounced the word ‘bodegas.’
“Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bogedas (sic) of The Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength,” she said.
Once again, Dr. Jill Biden butchers the Spanish language in furtherance of pandering to a client constituency (the org FKA National Council of La Raza). I hereby bless your timelines with Dr. Jill's rendering of "bodega". pic.twitter.com/Z4FSXtlUMe

Heckling Underscores A Big Problem For President Biden
The pro-Hamas protesters underscore a major but oft-pushed-aside problem for President Biden and his 2024 presidential re-election effort.
Far-left voters, especially younger ones, strongly disapprove of the way the Biden administration has handled the conflict in the Middle East.
A poll in late December shows 61% of voters disapprove of the President’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, while just 39% approve.
As you can see from the heckling, they are very animated about the situation.
X media host Tucker Carlson has described Jill Biden as “famously small-minded and dumb.”
He also mocked Jill and her title of “doctor” in the past.
“Jill Biden is not a doctor, no. Maybe in the same sense Dr. Pepper is,” Carlson previously quipped. “In 2007, at the age of 55, she got a doctorate in education, so she’s got the same degree as Dr. Bill Cosby.”
Savage sure, but then, it was at least a little nicer than how Carlson’s friend, Hunter Biden, described her.
