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.

PLEASE COME BACK BECAUSE I WANT TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN

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?
Miss a compassionate voice in the WH.

Just because you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean that they’re not compassionate.
The words of a real leader.

You mean with her paper signs?
.@MichelleObama @BarackObama Same.We all know you’re proud & supportive of these young heroes.
Also….when can you come back to the WH? ❤️

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.

Guess that counts towards his legacy…or something.
America loves & misses you, Michelle!! I noticed at today’s rally held in Tallahassee, several students were wearing Obama t-shirts! Thanks so much for your wonderful words of encouragement. I’m in awe of these brave students too! All the best!

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.

Trump may disagree with your stance but he still respects you.
