Welcome

CHICAGO, IL - DECEMBER 05: Former president Barack Obama speaks to a gathering of more than 50 mayors and other guests during the North American Climate Summit on December 5, 2017 in Chicago, Illinois. The summit was held to bring together leaders from the U.S., Canada and Mexico to commit their cities to addressing climate change at the local level.

Former president Barack Obama has responded to the massacres in El Paso and Dayton with a statement released on Twitter. After expressing his condolences, Obama criticized those who say “tougher gun laws won’t stop all murders” because “the evidence shows they can stop some killings.”

He also took a veiled shot at Donald Trump saying “We should soundly reject the language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred…”
