It is a sad day when the #POTUS seeks to disregard and punish American citizens for peacefully exercising their constitutional rights. https://t.co/QPvrKDS29D

At this time engagement is paramount. Divisions are restored by listening and acting. Divisions are widened by name calling and dismissing https://t.co/QPvrKDS29D

Ppl said it was disrespectful not going to the White House..I’m sure they are quiet about us being called “sons of bitches” 🤦🏿♂️(D-Mac)

"Going to the White House is considered a great honor". No. Going to meet a president you respect and are proud of is a great honor.
