The Nantucket Christmas tree lighting that President Joe Biden was attending Friday evening with his family was interrupted by 'Free Palestine' protesters.
The president, first lady Jill Biden and their children and grandchildren were gathered alongside the tree in Nantucket's town square as the town crier led the countdown to get the tree illuminated.
But after that went off without a hitch - after technical difficulties last year - fewer than 10 protesters at the front of the crowd unveiled 'free Palestine' and 'end apartheid' signs, directly in the president's line of sight.
'Biden, Biden you can't hide. We charge you with genocide,' they chanted.
A man went up to the microphone to remind them 'this is a community tree lighting' and said that while he 'respected their right to the First Amendment' he encouraged them to stop.
They resisted, but their message was drowned out by the crowd's cheering and loud Christmas music playing.
The children's choir rushed over to the president in the interim.
The demonstrators were all Nantucket natives or currently live on the island.
'Nantucket Island has long been considered an exclusive vacation getaway for rich tourists. However, the protests on Friday night indicate that island residents are pushing back on their island and community being used as a safe haven for politicians and wealthy elites,' said a press release about the protest.
Another pro-Palestine protest is scheduled for tomorrow, when the Biden family usually returns to the downtown shopping area for mark Small Business Saturday.
The Christmas tree lighting was the Biden family's last stop off the day after taking over downtown Nantucket for several hours.
The president's traditional Black Friday jaunt was delayed due to the first release of hostages from Gaza in the aftermath of Hamas' brutal October 7 terror attack on Israel.

“Baby Beau” is like 4 years old now?
And where was Navy Biden?????
Finish the limerick...
“There was dementia-addled man in Nantucket...”
Gawd these people are so ignorant.
They use the words, but they don’t know what they mean….
There was an old perv in Nantucket
Who carried his brains in a bucket
"You don't need them, my dear,"
Said his wife with a sneer,
"I'm in charge of the country. Just to heck with it."
Having trouble with the scansion in the last line. I wonder what would fit better than "to heck with it"?
What a f* ked up family……
“Our plan for this stage is to liberate any inch of Palestinian land, and to establish a state on it. Our ultimate plan is [to have] Palestine in its entirety. I say this loud and clear so that nobody will accuse me of employing political tactics. We will not recognize the Israeli enemy. “
“Allah, take the Jews and their allies, Allah, take the Americans and their allies... Allah, annihilate them completely and do not leave anyone of them.”
“The constants and the strategy of Hamas do not change according to circumstances.”
“By God, we will not leave one Jew in Palestine. We will fight them with all the strength we have. This is our land, not the Jews...”
“”We do not recognize the Israeli enemy, nor his right to be our neighbor, nor to stay (on the land), nor his ownership of any inch of land”

“Jews have no right in it, with the exception of those who lived on the land of Palestine before World War I.”
An early Christmas gift to see the Left eating it’s own.
Just desserts!!!
Ha, good one!
Here’s a fellow who could never have afforded any mansion anywhere were it not for graft and bribery.
Their ignorance may split the demonrat vote. The democrats did not confront this monster 20 years ago when they could have. Instead, they played both ends against the middle and never thought they’d lose control of the monster they had allowed to grow inside their party.
Jhiadhi Killer Joe, walking Nantucket with foot in a bucket.
Don’t embarass Obamas cadre of Palsestinian protest crew on Mamtucket ......they clean his estate, and procure him fresh rectal fodder.
So just suck it?
Echoes of “Hey hey LBJ”.
Whose brain was an empty bucket
There is no town square. They just go to the head of Main st. where the bank is. Great tree lighting tho. The Christmas Stroll should be right after deer season.
To his credit….at least Carter postponed lighting the national Christmas tree while a group of American hostages was in the hands of radical islamist kidnappers
There was a dementia-addled man in Nantucket
Whose brain was an empty bucket
But it could hold enough cash
To pay for Hunter’s stash
And all the hookers to whom he said “—— it.”
