Letter: Why didn’t calling out inappropriate behavior matter before?
President Donald Trump speaks in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington, Monday, April 9, 2018, at the start of a meeting with military leaders. Federal agents raided the office of Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen, seizing records on topics including a $130,000 payment made to a porn actress who says she had sex with Trump more than a decade ago. The move ignited the president's anger, with Trump calling it a "disgrace" that federal agents "broke into" the office of his personal attorney. He also called special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation "an attack on our country." (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)
Multiple Republican women accuse communications director Dave Robinson of harassment, body-shaming, and other inappropriate behavior. Salt Lake County GOP Chairman Scott Miller subsequently steps down after continuing to support Robinson. Even Gov. Spencer Cox has now called for his resignation.
Where was your outrage when the person accused of harassment, body-shaming and inappropriate behavior towards women was running for president or running our country? The GOP has become the party of hypocrisy.
Mike Mitchell, Salt Lake City
