Condemn the evil among us, Palazzo

Steven Palazzo
Steven Palazzo SUN HERALD

Regarding Congressman Steven Palazzo’s reaction to Charlottesville: Mr. Palazzo, it is time to rise to the moment.

Do take that “deep breath” — not in this case to “respect other people’s opinions” — but rather to specifically condemn the opinions of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, racists and any other hate and evil provocateur.

Call out the president on this one, Mr. Palazzo. It is your job as an elected member of one of the co-equal branches of our government.

Lee W. Flint
