Protesters throw milk at Joe Biden in Dublin

Inside Trinity College Dublin, Hunter Biden receives an award with his father in attendance. Outside, pro-Palestinian protesters gather with flags and chants, and security personnel raise umbrellas as milk is thrown toward the family on their way to a vehicle.
CNN's Short, "Protesters throw milk at Joe Biden in Dublin," moves between the ceremony and the confrontation outside. The footage shows the umbrellas being used as shields; the report does not establish that the milk struck the former president. Its narrator says at least two protesters were arrested.
The clip drew about eight times CNN's usual first-day comments for a Short, despite an ordinary start in views. Much of the discussion concerns American support for Israel and whether protesters distinguish between Democratic and Republican politicians, rather than the award ceremony itself.
That ceremony is the reason for the visit shown in CNN's report: Joe Biden was attending an event honoring his son, not making a presidential appearance.
The sole college of the University of Dublin and Ireland’s oldest university, founded in 1592.
