"The President condemns these attacks," White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "He has always denounced violence, threats, and vandalism committed by anyone, for any purpose. And he explicitly repeated those values in his remarks reacting to the Dobbs decision, calling for all protests to be peaceful."
Bates was referring to President Biden’s speech Friday immediately following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the question of abortion to the states to decide. During that speech, the president broadly called on protesters to remain peaceful.
