Former President Barack Obama says the expulsion of two Tennessee lawmakers who participated in a gun violence protest is a “sign of weakness.”
In a statement on Twitter, Mr. Obama said silencing dissenters won’t help.
“What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms,” Mr. Obama said. “Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.
