Sen. Tom Cotton on Tuesday doubled down on comments urging people delayed by traffic stemming from pro-Palestine demonstrations to 'forcibly remove' some protesters who are blocking streets. 'Absolutely, I support people, if they’re blocked by traffic, by pro-Hamas vigilantes in the street, they should get out of their cars, they should move them to the side of the road, and they should let traffic continue,' Cotton, R-Ark., told NBC News on Tuesday.
The Arkansas Republican also referred to the demonstrators blocking the Golden Gate bridge as “criminals” during a Fox News interview on Monday and suggested that they would have been treated differently had the protest happened his home state. “If something like this happened in Arkansas, on a bridge there, let’s just say I think there’d be a lot of very wet criminals that have been tossed overboard — not by law enforcement, but by the people whose road they’re blocking,” Cotton said.
