Obama is not asking for Americans to join together. He's claiming violence isn't the way. It wasn't about unity. It was about stopping the violence.

And I say to Obama, them first. When the MAGA nut jobs and Nazis stop threatening everyone, when pedo Trump stops bombing countries that never attacked the US, when ICE agents stop killing American citizens and immigrants, that's when the matching threats of violence will stop.

It's kind of silly to be calling for nonviolence when the bully is in the middle of beating you up.
