re: Obama Endorses Protests Against President-Elect Trump

Yes he did. I heard the audio.

And did you turn it off after you heard what you needed to confirm your belief? The OP conveniently leaves out the rest of the transcript from the video.

So, I would not advise people who feel strongly or who are concerned about some of the issues that have been raised during the course of the campaign, I wouldn't advise them to be silent. What I WOULD advise, what I advised before the election, what I will continue to advise after the election is that elections matter, voting matters, organizing matters, being informed on the issues matter

He said "don't be silent, elections matter, your votes matter, being organized matters, etc." That does not = Obama endorsing these protests. It's as bad as the spins that CNN and other networks put on Trump's words aka "illegal immigrants are rapists" is spun to mean "all mexicans are rapists" or "all immigrants from mexico are rapists."

I get that some of you just see a headline and copy and paste here, but for those of you who intentionally mislead others, you should be ashamed.
