Barack Obama got under Donald Trump’s skin.

On Monday afternoon, the former president tweeted a statement in the wake of last weekend’s mass murders in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas. “Until all of us stand up and insist on holding public officials accountable for changing our gun laws, these tragedies will keep happening,” Obama wrote, without identifying any officials by name. “We should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments.”
