Obama backs Trump protesters on travel ban

It doesn't sound as if ex-President Barack Obama is going to stay silent about his successor.

Obama's office released a statement Monday that, while not directly critical of President Trump, did applaud those protesting a Travel Ban on visitors from seven Muslim countries.
The statement from Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis:

"President Obama is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country. In his final official speech as President, he spoke about the important role of citizen and how all Americans have a responsibility to be the guardians of our democracy — not just during an election but every day.

"Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake.
"With regard to comparisons to President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, as we’ve heard before, the President fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion"
