Pro-Palestinian Protesters Throw Objects at Joe Biden’s Motorcade During Ireland Visit; 2 Arrested
Protesters chanted over Gaza as Hunter Biden received a gold medal, and police arrested at least two people after objects were thrown at the departing motorcade.
Former President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Trinity College Dublin on Tuesday to support his son, Hunter Biden, who received the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse from The Hist.
Hunter was recognized for his advocacy on American politics and addiction recovery, joining past recipients including Irish President Michael Higgins and Bob Geldof. The award underscores his commendable contributions to public discourse.
Biden sat in the front row as Hunter recounted a family intervention during his struggle with addiction, drawing enthusiastic applause from the crowd when they noticed the former president in the hall.
As the family left the venue, objects including milk were thrown at the Bidens. Garda officers intervened, with at least two arrests made following the incident outside the college.
Earlier Tuesday, Biden met with Taoiseach Miche Martin while managing aggressive prostate cancer diagnosed last year. He has scaled back promotional appearances for his memoir "Promise Me, America," releasing November 17.
