Biden Gets Heckled By Locals As He Tours New Jersey

Protestors in New Jersey heckled President Joe Biden as he toured the state Tuesday, accusing him of abandoning Americans in Afghanistan.

Biden visited New York and New Jersey to survey the damage wrought by Hurricane Ida. During the tour, the president underscored “an existential threat” posed by climate change, CNN reported.

A number of videos from the visit showed former President Donald Trump’s supporters heckling Biden and yelling at his motorcade.

“Walking these neighborhoods, meeting the families and the first responders, seeing how folks are doing after this destruction and pain and another devastating storm is an eye-opener,” the president said, CNN reported.
