Anti-Israel protesters ran amok outside of the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, draping a massive Palestinian flag over the side of the venue and shouting at President Biden’s motorcade and guests as they headed inside.
Some protesters even stormed the red carpet at the star-studded event, video shows.

Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the Washington D.C. Hilton Hotel Saturday night where Biden will take the stage and crack jokes as part of the annual charity dinner with White House reporters.
Footage from the scene shows a mob of delighted protesters cheering after the Palestinian flag unfurled from one of the hotel’s top floors.
The activists lined the entranceway to the dinner and yelled in the faces of well-dressed celebrities as they headed inside, another video shows.
At one point, demonstrators appeared to have made their way into the hotel, storming the red carpet with a large sign that read “Biden’s Legacy is Genocide.”
Behind them, guests smiled and posed for pictures, according to a clip posted online.
