Former President Joe Biden was heckled Tuesday by anti-Israel agitators who threw at least one object at his motorcade and screamed obscenities during his visit to Ireland alongside former first lady Jill Biden.
Biden, 83, made a surprise appearance at Trinity College in Dublin, where his son, Hunter Biden, accepted the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse, The Independent reported.
A mob of agitators gathered outside the venue while the event took place.

Biden was escorted into a waiting vehicle as the chaos unfolded, and the motorcade quickly drove away. The agitators then heckled the police officers at the scene.
“Shame on you!” they were heard chanting.
Throughout his presidency, Biden faced intense criticism from progressive Democrats, human rights advocates, and anti-Israel activists over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war and his administration’s unwavering support for the Jewish state.
