Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) claimed the pro-Palestinian protests on campus will be a central issue in November's election, and President Joe Biden has not risen to the occasion.
on Sunday to react to what he referred to as Biden’s “late” call to condemn the extreme cases of protesters making antisemitic threats. Around 2,000 protesters were arrested on campuses during this past week’s demonstrations. Some were charged with misdemeanors, such as trespassing, while others stand accused of assaulting police officers.
“It was absolutely too late; it was two weeks after these pro-Hamas fanatics had taken over a lot of these campuses and set up these little Gazas,” Cotton said of Biden’s response. “Second, he didn’t specifically speak to what they’re saying and what they’re doing. They’re chanting ‘final solution’ or telling Jews to go back to where they came from. They’re spray painting buildings with vile, antisemitic hate. He said we shouldn’t have antisemitism, hate speech in the abstract, or islamophobia.
Host Jonathan Karl attempted to switch their discussion to November’s election, but to Cotton, the two topics are intertwined. “First off, Jon, what we’re talking about is 2024. One of the many reasons why Donald Trump is going to win this election is you’ve got democratic protesters out there putting a terrorist headdress on a statue of George Washington,” Cotton said. “Meanwhile, you have patriots, like these frat boys at UNC and around the country, who are defending the American flag, and Joe Biden refused for two weeks to come out and denounce it.
