NextImg:Republican National Committee blasts President Biden for attending Boston fundraisers

The Republican National Committee is blasting Joe Biden’s “weak leadership” and “misplaced priorities,” as the president is in Boston for a trio of fundraisers today to benefit his campaign and the broader Democratic Party.

“Joe Biden is taking the day off to cozy up to his elite donors while Hamas is still holding as many as eight Americans hostage,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement earlier. “His weak leadership has emboldened our enemies, and his misplaced priorities are disgraceful.”

Air Force One landed at Logan International Airport just after 11:18 this morning, and Gov. Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu greeted Biden on the tarmac minutes later.

The Biden motorcade arrived at Westin Boston Seaport around 11:45 a.m. for the first fundraising event of the day, and the president later traveled out of the city, making a stop in Weston.

Boston’s branch of the Party for Socialism & Liberation will be picketing and rallying at Biden’s last stop of the day – a concert at the Shubert Theater in the theater district, featuring singer-songwriter and guitarist James Taylor.

PSL has held rallies in support of Palestine amid the continuing Hamas-Israel war, labeling Biden as “Genocide Joe” in a post adverting the picket and rally, scheduled for 4:30 and 6:30 this evening, respectively.

“GENOCIDE JOE IS COMING TO BOSTON,” the PSL’s post states. Let’s make clear that he is NOT welcome while he continues to fund Israeli apartheid. The people of Boston demand permanent ceasefire NOW!”

The concert, titled “You’ve Got a Friend in Joe,” is billed as an “evening concert” with Taylor and Biden, according to a copy of the red-white-and-blue invitation.

Taylor, the winner of six Grammy Awards, helped kick off a White House event in 2022 celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act, a climate and health care bill that Biden signed into law.

Later this week, Biden will touch down on the West Coast on Friday for his first Los Angeles fundraisers since the end of the strikes by actors and screenwriters, featuring film director Steven Spielberg and “Scandal” showrunner Shonda Rhimes, among other celebrities.
