The White House received some heat over reports that President Joe Biden’s team is carefully managing his schedule to avoid potential anti-Israel protests. The conservative news outlet, the Washington Examiner, made a stink about it during a White House press briefing, demanding a reaction from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. She didn’t confirm or deny squat, simply saying she hadn’t seen the report and directing folks over to the Secret Service.

According to NBC, Biden’s entourage is going to great lengths to dodge disruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters who have been hounding him ever since the Hamas terrorist attacks in October. From keeping event locations hush-hush until the last minute to hosting important announcements in small, secluded venues instead of large, public spaces, it seems like Team Biden is doing everything they can to minimize the risk of any rankling interactions.
Just when you thought this administration couldn’t get any more secretive, it turns out they’ve been maintaining top-secret locations for Biden’s recent appearances in Michigan, Ohio, and California.
