OK, enough is enough. Between “The Donald’s” misogyny at the top of the GOP ticket and the bullying tactics of the Scott supporters at the lower end we have clear evidence that the right wing of the Republican Party doesn’t represent the values of the vast majority of Idahoans.

I don’t care if you are a Republican, an independent or a Democrat, Idahoans must not silently tolerate these kinds of actions. Idahoans have long been proud of their acceptance of others. Silence on these types of actions tacitly implies that Idahoans condone these acts. I cannot believe that we condone bullying, misogyny, intimidation and fear-mongering.

The way for Idahoans to show everyone that they don’t support these tactics is to vote. Vote for those candidates that oppose intimidation and bullying. Vote for candidates that stand up for the rights of everyone.

On Nov. 8, vote for a better Idaho.
