Meet the Press interviews during 2024: on Education


Mark Kelly: Peaceful protest okay but students should not be intimidated

Tim SCOTT: We certainly respect the right to peaceful protest. What we're seeing on college campuses, however, is too often not peaceful protest. People are being hit. They're vandalizing and they're breaking into buildings. What we have to understand is the antisemitism that we're seeing on college campuses today is akin to what we saw in the 1960s. What we should be saying as a nation, the American people, they're saying it loud and clear. They support eliminating antisemitism from college campuses.

Mark KELLY: Well, you have some individuals, a certain group of them, that show up to peacefully protest. And then you have others that want conflict. And in some cases, they've even assaulted police officers. And those individuals need to be dealt with appropriately. And students on campus should be able to go to classrooms, get their education, not be intimidated. And the rising antisemitism that we've seen is of great concern for me, and I think it should be for everybody in elected office.
