Donald Trump criticized peaceful campus protests over Israel’s war in Gaza, labeling them as “tremendous hate,” while downplaying the violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville during his presidency as “a little peanut.” Trump blamed President Joe Biden for the campus protests.
Trump faced backlash after the Charlottesville rally for equating white supremacists with counter-protesters. The campus protests against Israel’s war have been largely peaceful, with no known deaths.
Trump also criticized Biden’s handling of the protests. Some Republicans accused universities of allowing Jewish students to be harassed during the protests, but activist groups denied these claims.
Trump, currently on trial in New York for allegedly falsifying business records, has previously condemned the violence at Charlottesville. He has denied any wrongdoing in his trial.
