Rick Baker: Denounce Donald Trump

St. Petersburg is not a city of hate.

Our candidates for Mayor should not be afraid to tell the President he is wrong when he defends Neo-Nazis.

This hateful rhetoric is not who we are as a city. This is not our future.

Why is Republican Rick Baker afraid to challenge Donald Trump?

Why is this important?

When Donald Trump came to the defense of white supremacists and Neo-Nazis, he crossed a threshold from which he can't return.

Republicans like Rick Baker must disavow Donald Trump immediately.

Rick Baker's refusal to challenge Donald Trump is nothing new. Baker has never once condemned Trump for any of his statements--from the outset of Trump's campaign to this very day.

However, Trump's most recent remarks stating that there were "many fine people" among the white supremacists and Neo-Nazis who converged on Charlottesville was beyond the pale.

Rick Baker must disavow Donald Trump's defense of white supremacists. If Rick Baker won't stand up to Donald Trump when he defends Neo-Nazis, at what point will Rick Baker be willing to tell our President that he is wrong?

Or will Rick Baker stay silent on these issues at the behest of his GOP donors?
