R.N.C. Scrambles To Give Kenosha Shooter Primetime Slot At Convention

The Republican National Convention is also underway, and when RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel heard about the events in Kenosha, she acted swiftly, giving the shooter a primetime slot for the event’s final night.⁣

“The Republican Party has a proud history of eroding civil rights, emboldening white supremacists and standing in the way of gun control. These among other issues are central to our strategy for President Trump’s reelection in November. We shifted some Trump family speakers around to make room in the lineup for this young man who truly embodies the spirit of the party.“⁣
