What Went Down During President Trump’s Closing Speech At The RNC

Clare, I think that Black Republicans have been such a big part of the convention more because the Trump campaign wants to reassure Republicans that their party doesn’t have racist values or policies. It was something Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens have been pushing for a while now, starting in earnest with their promotion of #Blexit around 2018.

Another fun fact: Van Drew is now running against a Kennedy (Amy Kennedy — she’s married to former Congressman Patrick Kennedy) in his South Jersey district.

I love the rampant regionalism in political events. South Jersey, Cleveland — at an American political event, we pretend like they’re all their own little nation-states.
