Defiance [dih-fahy-uh ns] 
noun
1. a daring or bold resistance to authority or to any opposing force.

Mnuchins response is anything but defiant. It is wimpy, weak, evasive... in a word, cucky.

The Yalies from his class wrote, "We call upon you... to resign in protest of President Trump’s support of Nazism and white supremacy. " And the best Mnuchin can respond is, "I believe that your letter and these comments raise several important issues and misconceptions that I am prepared to address... I feel compelled to let you know that the president in no way, shape or form, believes that neo-Nazi and other hate groups who endorse violence are equivalent to groups that demonstrate in peaceful and lawful ways... I hope you have a better perspective on my feelings on these issues. I don't believe the allegations against the President are accurate..."
