What Went Down On Night 3 Of The RNC

Is New York’s 21st Congressional District, where Elise Stefanik is from, a part of New England? I say yes, judging by the fact that people up there are Red Sox fans.

Michael McHale, the president of the National Association of Police Organizations, is giving a full-throated defense of police officers. That’s to be expected because of his job, but it comes across as very tone-deaf just days after police shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha.

With Michael McHale, the GOP is threading the unusual needle of highlighting problems on the President’s watch while arguing that they are the product of local officials’ failures. McHale also clearly shows the politicization of policing in recent elections.
