Objected (9)

I believe the answer is:

protested

(Other definitions for protested that I've seen before include "Expressed disapproval about stored pet" , "Made objection or complaint" , "Expressed opposition through action or words" , "Registered dissent or objection" , "Expressed disapproval, objected" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
