“#Biden fends off anti-pipeline protesters in Virginia<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

President Biden\u2019s Friday night stump speech in Virginia was interrupted by anti-pipeline protesters \u2014 leading the commander-in-chief to tell his audience to ignore the hecklers.<\/p>\n

Biden was about two minutes into his remarks at an Arlington rally for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe when a group of people began yelling \u201cStop Line 3!\u201d referring to a controversial oil pipeline project in northern Minnesota. <\/p>\n

The rest of the crowd attempted to drown out the protesters by booing and chanting \u201cLet\u2019s go, Joe!\u201d as the president tried to restore order.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s OK, that\u2019s all right,\u201d Biden said. \u201cNo, no, no, no. Let \u2019em talk. That\u2019s OK. Look, this is not a Trump rally. Let \u2019em holler. No one\u2019s paying attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president spoke before an enthusiastic and largely unmasked crowd of around 3,000 people in support of McAuliffe, a longtime Democratic party heavyweight who is seeking another term as Virginia\u2019s governor. McAuliffe previously held that office from 2014 to 2018. Under Virginia law, governors cannot run for a second consecutive term.<\/p>\n

McAuliffe is favored to defeat his Republican opponent, private equity executive Glenn Youngkin. While the race is seen as competitive, the rapid growth of northern Virginia\u2019s Washington, DC suburbs has tipped the commonwealth into the reliably Democratic column. No Republican presidential candidate has won Virginia since George W. Bush in 2004 and the last GOPer elected governor was Bob McDonnell in 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not gonna find anyone, I mean anyone, who knows how to get more done for Virginia than Terry,\u201d Biden said. \u201cOff-year election, the country\u2019s looking. This is a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, as one of only two regularly scheduled governor\u2019s races this year (New Jersey being the other), the Virginia contest is drawing outsize national attention as a potential measuring stick of voter sentiment ahead of next year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n

When not touting his administration\u2019s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the economy, Biden attempted to cast Youngkin as an \u201cacolyte of Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI ran against Donald Trump in Virginia and so is Terry,\u201d the president said at one point. \u201cAnd I whipped Donald Trump in Virginia and so will Terry.\u201d <\/p>\n

Biden also accused Republicans of offering \u201cnothing more than fear, lies and broken promises.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is based on \u2014 the only country in the world based on the proposition, \u2018We hold these truths to be self-evident,\u2019 that all women and men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happ<\/a>iness,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve never met the test, but we\u2019ve never walked away from it like the Republicans have.\u201d<\/p>\n
