O’Connor argued that by their silence, Dems are being hurt by the protests because Americans are seeing opposition to Trump as “violent thugs.”

This guy is clueless. The Dems condone and encourage this behavior. They praise it. They instigate it. They see it as helpinf the "progressive" cause. They call it "free speech"......................

You’re surely right that a good portion of the Dem base approves of this kind of thing.

But I can’t believe that, say, Chuck Schumer is happy when he turns on the TV and sees more anti-conservative rioting on campus.

Whatever his personal views, he’s enough of a pragmatist to realize that it will hurt Dems at the ballot box.
