Protesters maligned

A spokesman for Senator Marco Rubio characterized the people who were demonstrating outside Rubio’s Doral office Tuesday as a group of left-wing, paid protesters.

As a long time Democrat, I take great offense to his politically-charged comment that is 100 percent untrue.

We were a group of Democrats peacefully expressing our concern with the selection of cabinet members and the policies of the POTUS about immigration. We were not protesting against Senator Rubio.

I do not understand why he would malign a group of citizens requesting his support.

I am baffled by his disrespect.

Loren Foutz,

Because these issues often affect the quality of residential life and the delivery of municipal public services, residents should take more than passing interest in who their candidates are and what they stand for. It is most important for all of us to become informed and vote.
