The demonstrators popping up at the nation's universities "aren't your ’60s protesters" but instead are "credit card hippies" with money, goaded by "professional instigators," Rep. Tim Burchett said on Newsmax, Sunday. 

"All these tents just magically appeared and supplies appear, [so] obviously it's the same players that are involved in this thing," the Tennesee Republican told Newsmax's "Sunday Report." "You've got some billionaires that are ultra-liberal, mostly Marxist that are looking to stir everything."

Further, "ultra-liberal professors" who are tenured are stoking the fires among the protesters, and "are teaching our little darling this backward way of thinking" on antisemitism, said Burchett. 

Still, Americans must start paying attention to the demonstrators, because they are also voters and will one day be the people running for public office, he said.
