Fox News host Shannon Bream is urging President Joe Biden to send in the National Guard to quell pro-Palestine protests on college campuses, RadarOnline.com has learned.
"I can understand these people being so upset and frustrated that they're missing out on a second big milestone in their life," Bream said during an appearance on The Five on Friday of students who could have their graduation and commencement ceremonies canceled due to the mounting unrest.
Bream explained that she "can understand these people being so upset and frustrated" about missing their graduation ceremonies.
"I think if the Biden White House wants to get these youth voters, you’ve got to decide which side you’re going to want to lay your claim to, here," Bream continued.
"But, a lot of young people, yes, they’re upset with you for how you’re handling this Gaza situation with Israel. But a lot of other people, a greater percentage, seem to be very upset about how this is impacting their college experience."
"I think if the Biden White House wants to get these youth voters, you’ve got to decide which side you’re going to want to lay your claim to, here," Bream continued.
"And, the White House said yesterday, the spokeswoman, Karine Jean-Pierre, that this is up to governors about sending National Guard in, settling things down, it’s not for the president," she added. "We all know the president is, in history, has sent the National Guard in on campuses where there's trouble into riots."
"They got to start having a conversation about, if you’re going to say you're the party of law and order and rule of law, why are you not helping the students who are having something so precious snatched away from them?"
Greene's motion to vacate was rejected by Congress.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has also called on Biden to deploy the National Guard. "This is dangerous. This is not the First Amendment, this is not free expression," Johnson said during a visit to Columbia University on Wednesday.
"If this is not contained quickly and if these threats and intimidation are not stopped, there is an appropriate time for the National Guard," Johnson added. "My message to the students inside the encampment is go back to class and stop the nonsense. Stop wasting your parents’ money.”
