The GOP’s new convention theme: ‘Lock her up!’
Make America Hate Again.
CLEVELAND The refrain of this Republican convention hasnt been Make America Great Again. Its been Lock her up!
Over the first two nights of the GOP convention, at least three speakers have called for Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic nominee to be imprisoned. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recited a series of Clintons alleged misdeeds and led the crowd in shouts of guilty after each.
Lock her up! the convention crowd shouted repeatedly on both nights. The chant not heard before at Donald Trumps rallies has quickly become the theme of the GOPs gathering in Cleveland.
Give me a few minutes, Christie said Tuesday as the chant interrupted the start of his speech.Well get there.
A Republican Party still divided over nominee Donald Trump has sought unity by focusing on attacking Clinton instead. But the recurring chant has already made clear how much Trump has changed his partys tone and direction.
Here in Cleveland, even when Republicans werent talking about Trump, they were still talking like him embracing the taboo-breaking rhetoric the outsider candidate has brought with him into the partys mainstream.
