It’s extraordinary that not only is a Teamsters president addressing the RNC and attacking right-to-work laws and other conservative, pro-worker policies, but he’s being given a primetime slot and a significant amount of time to speak.
“Elites have no party. Elites have no nation.” – Sean O’Brien
Things I never thought I’d see: Teamsters chief Sean O’Brien is railing against “corporatists” and “big business” to a rapt Republican audience.
Really wild to see a roomful of Republicans cheering the head of the Teamsters union as he rails against the exploitation of the American worker by “big banks” and other “elites.”
The crowd’s going nuts, as Donald Trump, with a bandage over his right ear, is in the arena, and is shown on the Jumbotron…
The video package opening for Sen. Marsha Blackburn features Trump talking about election security, the superiority of “paper ballots,” the importance of voting on election day, and the efforts by Democrats to “cheat” in elections. Not much of a pivot.
This actually was a surprisingly solid speech from Charlie Kirk, of all people. Somebody must have vetted his remarks to prevent him from sounding like Charlie Kirk.
The final hour of tonight’s programming offers a wide range of inspiring, principled, bright leaders, from Charlie Kirk to Amber Rose.
Charlie Kirk paints a bleak version Biden’s “mutilated” version of the American dream, in which members of Gen Z will “never own a home, never marry, and work until they die, childless.”
Sorry to be late to the party, everyone, but I’m now in Milwaukee – well, somewhere in the greater Milwaukee area, past the Leinenkugel’s 10th Street Brewery. (As I understand it, Wisconsinites navigate by breweries.)
I wonder if anything said at the convention tonight will be a bigger deal than what appears to be President Biden bombing another interview, insisting to Lester Holt that NBC hasn’t reported about Donald Trump’s lies, and ending the interview with an irritated, “sometime, come and talk to me about what we should be talking about, the issues.”
He’s a tired, confused man angry and irritated that he can’t do what he used to do, as easily as he used to do it.
