Former President Obama late on Thursday said that the expulsion of Tennessee lawmakers after they participated in a gun violence protest on the House floor is a “sign of weakness,” arguing that silencing dissenters won’t lead to progress.
“What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress,” the former president tweeted.
He added that elected officials should not lose their jobs for speaking out, especially when the protests are geared toward protecting children.
“This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children,” Obama said.

It's a sign of strength. Obama the anti Christ also knows this but continues his gaslighting mind games.
The Left's Core Strategy #1: Lie forcefully knowing the media and the appropriate establishment will support you.
The Left's Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target and polarize it" via Rules for Radicals.
The Left's Core Strategy #3: Scream accusations of racism* (or racist* attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.
The Left's Core Strategy #4: Attack by projecting your guilt onto your opposition.
The Left's Core Strategy #5: Gaslight by declaring that good decisions are creating a negative outcome or that your destructive actions are creating a positive outcome.
The Left's Core Strategy #6: Attack opposition with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Think drive-by shooter.
The Left's Core Strategy #7: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.
Repeat

I don’t consider it BS as he’s deploying a psychological strategy that has been extremely effective for him.

Eat me, pal. Your time is over and not a minute to soon. Go be a FORMER president and oversee the grand edifice being built (and throwing inner city residents out of their homes) so the teeming masses can prostrate themselves in front of you in perpetuity.

“especially when the protests are geared toward protecting children.”
The fact is the “reform” he speaks of has not only nothing to do with protecting children but is actually designed to disarm his political enemies(us) for the purpose of inflicting a Night of the Broken Glass type event against us...quite literally.

An Ad Hominem attack from Sheikh Obama (piss be upon him). He doesn't offer details as to why the legislature's charges are false, instead only offering personal opinion on the resulting optics.

I remember seeing him say that, word for word.
