The Republican National Convention continued Tuesday, with appearances through President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence as they tried to publicize the U.S. issue as a “land of opportunity.”
First lady Melania Trump closed the night with a speech that is perhaps the highest open popularity of the human toll triggered by the coronavirus pandemic at the conference so far. He offered his condolences to the relatives who were in the duel for COVID-19. He also said more paintings are being made to combat the riots and the racial department in the country.
His speech came at a time when the conference released Trump’s video of a rite of naturalization at the White House for new U.S. citizens, even though his administration has taken a number of steps to seriously restrict legal immigration to the United States. States.
The rite of naturalization seems to violate the Hatch Act, a law that prevents official tasks from acting in the context of a political event. In some other violation of the same law, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave the impression on the convention program through a video from Jerusalem. Pompeo warned State Department workers on a cable last month that they have no interaction in “any partisan political activity” similar to a campaign, political party, or political organization and are struggling to engage in “party political activities” abroad.
Speakers made several misleading statements on a variety of topics: portraying the state of the economy at the end of Obama-Biden’s terms as “stagnation, recession,” is one of the longest economic expansions recorded; and hinting that Joe Biden had a prosecutor fired in Ukraine to block the investigation of a company that paid his son Hunter, the dismissal was widely supported by other Western governments and no evidence emerged to recommend the irregularities. Trump’s son, Eric Trump, also made misleading statements that Biden supported the “suppression of police funding.”
Trump’s daughter, Tiffany Trump, addressed the convention, protecting her father opposed to the media.
Just before the evening program began, President Trump pardoned Jon Ponder, a convicted bank robber who founded a readmission program for released prisoners. Earlier this year, Ponder granted a pardon from the Nevada State Pardon Council for past convictions for assault, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The video of the president’s pardon released at the beginning of Tuesday night’s convention.
A video of Mary Ann Mendoza, described as an “angel mom” because her son was killed by a driving force that was illegally in the country, was removed at the last minute after retweating a long tweet with an anti-Semitic plot by QAnon Theory. “We’ve removed the scheduled video from the convention schedule and it will no longer be broadcast this week,” a senior crusade official told Nicole Sganga of CBS News. Mendoza then apologized and deleted the thread, saying he hadn’t read all the messages on the thread.
Paul began his speech congratulating Mr. Trump on supporting his travels on medical projects to Guatemala and Haiti, where the Kentucky senator, an ophthalmologist, performed charitable eye surgeries.
“Nothing is more amazing than the bandages in a person’s eyes and seeing them see them again those they enjoyed. Donald Trump helped me do that,” Paul said in his comments.
Paul also praised Trump for his foreign policy and economic systems, while criticizing Joe Biden for being the one who “will continue to spread our blood and treasure.”
Paul, who faced Trump in the 2016 presidential election, said he is “proud of the paintings Donald Trump has made as president.”
“I don’t agree with him, ” said the senator. “But our occasional political differences are more than offset by our vital agreements.”
Nicholas Sandmann, who was the subject of a viral video of a confrontation with Native American activist Nathan Phillips last year, focused his comments on the mainstream media and said Americans will have to “join a president who will challenge the media to return to target journalism.” . “Sandmann sued several news agencies for covering the incident. He settled some of the lawsuits and one that opposes CBS News continues to struggle.”
Reflecting on the incident on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Sandmann, who once appeared again in front of the Lincoln Memorial, stated that “the entire war device of the mainstream media went into attack mode” as photographs of the spread.
Sandmann said that the following year he had Trump’s opinion and suggested to the electorate that he “join around a president who calls the media and refuses to allow them to create a narrative rather than report the facts.”
“I think we all accept our First Amendment rights and don’t hide in the concern of the media, tech corporations or outraged crowd,” he said. “It is worth fighting for. It’s courage to vote. That’s what President Donald Trump stands for.”
Sandmann ended his speech with a MAGA hat as he used it in the video.
The president’s youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, remained largely out of the spotlight, but was one of four members of Trump’s circle of relatives who spoke Tuesday night, plus the president.
Trump, a recent graduate of Georgetown Law School, used his speech to destroy media corporations and accused them of suppressing voices. “If what percentage does not have compatibility with the narrative they seek to promote, then it is ignored or considered a “lie,” whatever the truth,” he said.
“Ask yourself why we are prevented from seeing secure information. Why is one point of view promoted while others are hiding?” he asked. “The answer is – and because the department and the controversy generate profits.”
His father, he said, would challenge “media monopolies to respect American constitutional freedoms.”
Reflecting on iowa’s recent right, Reynolds said that in addition to what Iowans presented to each other, “someone else also edited us: our president.”
“When the winds stopped burning and the cleanliness was just beginning, he appeared. You may not know it, because the national media hasn’t reported it. But Trump’s management there. In full force,” Reynolds said.
Reynolds also recalled the Trump administration’s reaction last year after the floods devastated communities in Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska, and said Trump had approved federal aid for states in a matter of days.
Eric Trump listed his father’s accomplishments in his first term, mentioning his judicial appointments, his revision of the tax code with the GOP-controlled Congress, and his foreign policy agenda.
Trump sought to distinguish between his father and Joe Biden, calling the former vice president “a career that has never signed the front of a check and knows nothing about the American employee or the American company.”
Some of his attacks on Biden were at least or completely false.
“Biden is committed to dissolving the police and taking flight from our valuable Second Amendment,” Trump said. But that’s not true. Biden has continually stated that it does not help to cut police investment. He told liberal activist Ady Barkan that he helped redirect some of the police investment into things like intellectual aptitude advice and social services. Trump also said, “Biden is committed to preventing the structure of the border wall and providing amnesty and medical care to all illegal immigrants,” which is partially true. Biden promised earlier this month that “no other wall foot would be built in my administration.” And he also said he planned to send Congress “a bill to provide a citizenship trail to 11 million undocumented immigrants.” However, the former vice president’s “Unity Working Group” stated that undocumented immigrants can simply “buy unsubsidized policies in ACA markets.”
At the end of his comments, Eric Trump addressed his father directly, declaring, “You’re strengthening America again, you’re making America safe again, you’re making America proud again. And, yes, with the forgotten men and women, who are in spite of everything that has not been forgotten, you make America awesome again! “
Trump and the Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, oversaw a rite of naturalization with five participants in a rite recorded at the White House. Trump’s leadership has taken unprecedented unilateral steps to seriously restrict legal immigration.
It is not known when the video was filmed. On Tuesday, Trump appointed Wolf as permanent secretary to DHS, even though the Government Accountability Office found that Wolf and senior immigration official Ken Cuccinelli were not appointed through a valid process.
Trump made brief statements and appointed players from Bolivia, Ghana, Sudan, India and Lebanon.
The rite marked the moment when on Tuesday night the president used official activities for political purposes, after forgiving a boy before night.
Speaking from Jerusalem, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo praised Trump’s foreign policy paintings, noting the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite army force Quds, the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, and peace. agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
“The main constitutional function of the national government is to make sure that your family and mine have and enjoy the freedom to live, work, be informed and pray as they please,” Pompeo said. “In fulfilling this duty to ensure our security and our freedoms intact, this president has led ambitious projects in almost every corner of the world.”
Pompeo said his own circle of relatives is “safer and his freedoms safer because President Trump has implemented his vision of America first. It probably wouldn’t have made it popular in all foreign capitals, but it worked.”
First Lady Melania Trump closed the conference Tuesday night doing anything the White House Rose Garden didn’t hear: she showed sympathy to those who wept, enjoyed those lost by COVID-19, and claimed that America had more paintings to do to deal with. That. racial riots and division.
Trump, who has played a quieter behind-the-scenes role than the other recent early ladies, has presented his in the paintings of her husband and his administration. But it also showed a softer, more sympathetic tone about the virus that is ravaging the United States and expressed the pain of racial turmoly in the country.
“I need to recognize that since March, our lives have changed dramatically. The invisible enemy, COVID-19, swept our beautiful country. And it was our turn. My deepest condolences are to all who have lost one enjoyed, ” she said.
He thanked the fitness staff and first responders who put the country first. He said he moved through the way the Americans came here in combination at such a dubious time.
But Trump has also approached the race riots in the United States in a way that no one else has yet done the RNC, and in a way that her husband sometimes doesn’t.
He identified that if the country has made progress in racial equality, the country will have to go further. “It’s a raw truth that we’re not proud of a component of our history,” said the first girl.
The first also identified her own history as a Slovenian immigrant. Her speech came at the same time as her husband at an immigration naturalization ceremony.
“As an immigrant and very independent woman, I sense how privileged it is to be here,” she said.
The first girl said she knew Trump underestimated this year, just like she did in 2016. But he also said he knew that supporters would go to the polls.
The first girl marked a different path from her husband’s and to the fullest of the other RNC speakers, saying she would not attack the look because it only serves to “divide”.
