Shorter Tom Cotton: That dang free speech is for white Republicans, NOT you, hippies! Chris Hayes takes the story from here: CHRIS HAYES (HOST): Back in 2020, during the George Floyd protests, a United States senator penned a controversial op-ed in the New York Times, calling for the US military to be brought in to crush the protests in the streets, claiming those demonstrations were shot through with, quote, cadres of left-wing radicals like Antifa.
