How unpopular is that, you ask? Unpopular enough that legacy outlets, if there weren\u2019t enough Democrats willing to criticize the protesters, brought in Republicans to do it for them.<\/p>\n<p>On ABC News\u2019 <strong>\u201cThis Week,\u201d<\/strong> host Jonathan Karl brought in Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) to discuss the protests, and Cotton made it clear that he had no patience for protests that were essentially parroting Hamas terrorist talking points and then hiding behind the First Amendment, claiming their destructive behavior was protected.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">On campus protests, GOP Sen.
