RNC Speakers Spent A Lot More Time Bashing Hillary Clinton Than Praising Donald Trump
While Tuesdays theme was billed as Make America Work Again, almost everyone who appeared on stage offered criticism for Clinton, bashing everything from her email scandal to her accent. A video called Hil-LIAR-y played early in the evening, and there was vigorous fault-finding with her resume.
There was far more focus on the contempt for Clinton than on any admiration for Donald Trump, who was formally named the Republican nominee for president earlier in the evening and briefly appeared via video, thanking supporters.
Several of the nights big-name speakers barely acknowledged Trump, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who said Trump would sign Republican-backed bills and fill the seat of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, but little else about the business mogul.
