"They Have a Point": Biden Responds to Pro-Palestinian Protesters
-----------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke in Raleigh, North
Carolina, Tuesday. A group of pro-Palestinian activists interrupted the
president while he talked about his record on healthcare.

President Joe Biden: "A patient with a heart disease, diabetes, or a
child with asthma couldn't get coverage. Why? Because the insurance
company considered those a preexisting condition that allowed them to
deny coverage."

Protester 1: "What about healthcare in Gaza?"

Protester 2: "What about the healthcare in Gaza?"

President Joe Biden: "Everybody deserves healthcare."

Protester 2: "Hospitals in Gaza are being bombed! [inaudible]"

Protester 3: "Women are being raped!"

President Joe Biden: "They have a point. We need to get a lot more care
into Gaza."
