In anticipation of tonight’s CNN townhall surrounding the gun control debate, former First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted about how proud she is of students in Florida.
I’m in total awe of the extraordinary students in Florida. Like every movement for progress in our history, gun reform will take unyielding courage and endurance. But @barackobama and I believe in you, we’re proud of you, and we’re behind you every step of the way.

How would her being in the White House make you feel safe again? She wasn’t the President.
miss you and your courage and wisdom

Courage? What did she do that was so courageous?

Just because you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean that they’re not compassionate.

She can’t, unless she wins the Presidency. Funny how term limits work, huh?
We miss you so much. We miss the integrity you brought to our country. I have been touting the @BarackObama never took campaign contributions from the NRA. We will not elect anyone who takes money from the NRA. They are a terrorist organization.

What does wearing an Obama shirt have to do with this conversation?
N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
Finally, a leader who has respect for those have so much invested in an issue. Thank you, Michelle and Barack for supporting #America's future.
