Joe Biden was booed and heckled on the streets of Nantucket on Saturday even as people protesting the war in Gaza were kept far away from the president.

The president's motorcade even took a different route from where he is staying - David Rubenstein's $34 million home on Abrams Point - into town to avoid driving past protestors gathered on the side of the road with signs saying 'Free Palestine.'

A group of about 40 people calling for an end to the fighting in Palestine were kept down one end of Main Street in downtown Nantucket - about six blocks from where Biden was shopping with wife Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden and the first couple's grandchildren.
