Multiple students at Morehouse College turned their backs on President Biden during his commencement address in Atlanta Sunday — as support for the 81-year-old commander-in-chief among black voters plunges.

Biden’s speech at the historic black, all-male college marked the first time he has set foot on campus since mass anti-Israel protests erupted at schools across the country.

“I support peaceful nonviolent protest,” he told the graduates, as several turned around to face away from the president.

“Your voices should be heard. I promise you I hear them,” he insisted to the students, many of whom had a kaffiyeh, a traditional scarf associated with the Palestinians, draped over their shoulders.
