@pbsnews: President Joe Biden on Thursday defended the right to protest, but insisted that "order must prevail," amid the pro-Palestinian protests happening on college campuses across the United States. "Dissent is essential to democracy, but dissent must never lead to disorder, or to denying the rights of others," Biden said at the White House. Tensions have been building across campuses, with law enforcement breaking up protester encampments and making arrests. The president's remarks come as more than 100 protesters were arrested at the University of California, Los Angeles early Thursday. Arrests were also made earlier in the week at protests at Columbia University and City College in New York City. Biden said the protests have not prompted him to change his position on the Israel-Hamas war. #biden #joebiden #presidentbiden #collegeprotests #collegeprotest #columbiauniversity #columbiauniversityprotest #collegeencampments #encampment #whitehouse #antiwarprotests #politicstiktok #israel #palestine #gaza
