Chris Kluwe, a former professional football player, called upon Democratic lawmakers to engage in "civil disobedience" after being arrested for peacefully protesting a California city's central library decision to approve a plaque with the slogan "MAGA" emblazoned onto it to commemorate their 50th anniversary.

"I want our elected democratic officials to start engaging in civil disobedience," Kluwe said Wednesday in an interview with the Daily Pilot. "People need to be aware that what's going on with this administration is leading us down a really dark path. Right now, no one is willing to step up and do that. So, if I want to ask them to do it, then I have to be willing to do it too."
