Biden has stood against "repugnant, antisemitic smears and violent rhetoric" his whole life, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said, and he was disturbed of reports of hate speech on display in recent days.

The White House also said it is unaware of any evidence of "bad actors" among the pro-Palestinian protesters.
