Biden Co-Chair: Whether 'Protesters Exceeded What Was Expected' or Cops Were 'Heavy-Handed' Isn't Threat Like Trump

On Monday's broadcast of "CNN This Morning," Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said that protests can't spill over into violence and intimidation and some campus protests did require the police to be brought in, there were "protests on many campuses that were peaceful, but, in recent days, we've seen, in a few cases, those protests become violent and interfere with schooling and education," and "campus protests that have happened recently for a few weeks" "are not a fundamental threat to our democracy" and 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump's behavior around January 6 is "a far more significant issue than the ongoing current focus on whether or not, on a few campuses, either rioters -- protesters exceeded what was expected of them in terms of the balance of free speech and action and whether or not police response was overly heavy-handed."
