There is a debate that has been brewing over the last few weeks over when a protest crosses the line into harassment.

Did protesters go too far when they chanted “shame” as Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen dined at a Mexican restaurant last week?

Did a restaurant owner go too far when she asked Sarah Sanders to leave?

And did Congresswomen Maxine Waters go too far when she said that people are going to harass Trump’s cabinet until the separation of children ends?

It’s tempting for Democrats to want to counter attack, especially when Donald Trump is king of the low road. But some say it would be a recipe for disaster to engage.

As this debate rages on Senator Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor today (watch above) to address all this saying:

“Make your voice heard. Explain why you think they are wrong and why y0u are right. Protest peacefully. If you disagree with a politician, organize your fellow citizens to action and vote them out of office. No one should call for the harassment of political opponents. That’s not right. That’s not American.”

Michael Smerconish takes it a step further worrying that these protests will eventually turn violent.

Late Monday Rep. Waters did try to clarify that she believes the protests should stay peaceful.

For now, it seems there aren’t winners on either side of this debate. It actually all seems a little like how people in middle school would handle things, not grown adults in government.
