@Alon @BenRossTransit i think a lot of people beyond alt-left protesters themselves dislike that he was so aggressive against them. the protestors themselves are electorally and politically marginal, but the meaning of the protests — whether they should be understood as antisemitic and proterrorist, or as opposing carnage and (perhaps misguidedly) seeking justice — strongly divides the D coalition, whatever ones own views on the matter. Shapiro did take a strong view on the matter.
