It's a trap either way. Like asking Matt Gaetz if he agrees children should not be trafficked and raped by middle-aged adults. Any direct answer to that would make him look like a pedophile.

That's why you aren't a politician (along with probably many other reasons). The correct response is something like: "there are certain actions that these protesters shouldn't be taking." You just totally avoid the question and pretend like you answered it.
