Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark, said that he believes protestors who block traffic on major highways should be forcibly removed. His statement comes after pro-Palestinian protestors blocked major highways across the country on Monday. 

In a post on social media, Cotton said, “No one has the right to block traffic on major highways, period.” He continued, “Anyone who does so shouldn’t be surprised if their fellow motorists remove them by force.”
