I believe that it is at least
connoted
that repudiation is a disavowal of
previously accepted ideas.
For instance, Stalin repudiated the Russian Orthodox Church in whose seminary he was studying
and Hillary repudiated the Original Americanism of
Barry Goldwater.
(She was once a
Goldwater Girl.)
On the other hand, if a salesman approaches u
and u reject him in the middle of his pitch,
that is not a repudiation because u did not accept him in the first place.
(Its a little like u can't get a divorce if u have not been married.)
