Campus protests grow across the country [Video]

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Across the U.S. antiwar protests on college campuses are causing controversy.

Lawmakers are split in their reactions to the demonstrations and their views on how to handle them.

The protests range from marches to encampments with a lot of emotion coming from students as they try to make their viewpoints heard about the global conflict.

 On the Hill Sunday Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) raised concerns about the protests.

“It’s a great American value to protest, but I don’t believe living in a pup tent for Hamas is really helpful,” said Fetterman.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called the situation dangerous.

“There’s also antisemitism, which is completely unacceptable,” McConnell said.

Many students are demanding their universities cut ties with Israel and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)  said they’re raising legitimate concerns about the death toll of Palestinians and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

“When you make those charges that’s not antisemitic that is a reality,” Sanders said.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said he supports students demonstrating peacefully.
