Quietly accept Trump? Did you quietly accept Obama?

Re “Ban and boycott all who oppose Trump” letter by Ed Silver.

While Mr. Silver is certainly entitled to his opinion, he certainly does not grant that to others. He seems to forget that it is our right under the Constitution to speak freely.

I wonder if he actually followed his own advice and kept his mouth shut during the Obama administration.
