Repudiate hate

Re Norman Braman’s speech published on Dec. 11: I totally agree when he concludes that, “Now is not the time to stay quiet.” Where are our elected representatives, including the governor, Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep.Ileana Ros-Lehtinen?

When are they and other Republicans going to speak up and repudiate what was started from the very top — Donald Trump, the president-elect and Russian puppet. As Braman said: “This past presidential campaign allowed the genie of hate out of the bottle.”
