Former President Donald Trump urged college presidents to remove anti-Israel protest encampments from their campuses during a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The protests at the University of Wisconsin’s Madison and Milwaukee campuses have been ongoing for a third consecutive day, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
In a Twitter post, Trump called for the removal of the encampments to create a safe learning environment for all students. He criticized President Joe Biden for not showing leadership during the protests and claimed that Biden’s lack of action only exacerbates the situation.
Despite criticism directed at Biden for his response to the protests, the White House press secretary stated that the president is closely monitoring the situation. She defended Biden’s record on combatting antisemitism and emphasized that he is receiving regular updates on the events at the college campuses.
