What Went Down On Night 3 Of The RNC

In her speech, Lara Trump touted low unemployment for women under Trump’s presidency. That is, of course, ignoring the recession caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, which — unlike most other recessions — has hit women harder than men.

Many people are thinking this, so I’m going to say it out loud: This has been a really boring first hour-and-a-half. The first two nights were a little bit better programmed than I was expecting, but this one hasn’t been.

Like the other women speaking tonight, Lara Trump brings up women’s suffrage and women as leaders more broadly. A consistent message tonight is that the Republican women in leadership positions were not appointed or hired because they were women, but because they were the best person for the job.
