In response to Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen’s letter, “Why Democrats hate former President Trump" in the Feb. 3 Independent Review: Rep.

Fortunately, there are also many Republicans that haven’t! If anyone “hates Republicans” as you stated, it is due to the divisive, disruptive, demeaning, and disgusting rhetoric you and the former President advocate.
