Who will stand up to hate?

Our grandfathers, brothers, husbands, cousins, neighbors gave their lives to defeat the Nazis during World War II. Now we have a president whose language gives the American Nazis, white supremacists and Ku Klux Klan legitimacy and refuge. Who is going to stand up to this moral crisis? Equally important, who is going to remain silent?
