![Screenshot of text:
By Rubenstein's own description, this piece—an endorsement of the protests as an expression of public frustration with injustice—was the opposite of Cotton's view. What Cotton was writing against, as was obvious at the time, was the protest movement itself.
Further underscoring this, Rubenstein narrated the editing history of one of the crucial passages in the piece:
[Blockquote begins] I was given the job of fact-checking and line-editing. Among other edits, I inserted a line making clear the distinction between peaceful protesters and law-breaking looters. [Blockquote ends.]
That "distinction between peaceful protesters and law-breaking looters" was held up by the op-ed's defenders, after the fact, as the heart of Cotton's argument, proof that he never meant to call for military action against the protests themselves. Yet Rubenstein described this supposedly essential, definitive piece of the argument as not having come from Cotton at all.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lyspo2bgxpznqtug5ir2q33g/bafkreigsehbxbfmh34s472kg3dtkpf37rso6hrhi5s2x2y6hbwdbrpmvum)
