take exception (to something)

But members of the business community today took exception to this approach.

"The average police officer with 25 years on the force would take exception to that."

Others at the hearing also took exception to the association's study.

I am quite sure that there are many who will take exception to it.

Walker took exception at the hit and started after Young.

There was no one who could take exception to that.

That is as it should be, and I find nothing to take serious exception to.

He did not take exception with Green's decision to remove him, either.

However, there are several points to which I must take exception.

They had not taken exception to it before, so why start now?
