(99,719 posts)It was disturbing seeing a gay man throw trans people under the bus. Being a Republican will do that to ya.
Native
(5,943 posts)Sorry, thought you were asking who the last speaker was. My bad.
Mika
(17,751 posts)... saying that he built his business from nothing, himself & $100.
Mika
(17,751 posts)Remember the GOP taking O's infracture comment out of context.
Maddening cross purposes and mixed messages in these speeches.

Chemisse

And I am glad people are reminded of Trump's mocking of the disabled reporter.
Evergreen Emerald

Native

Peigan68
(137 posts)She's not for our party, she's not for our nominee. She openly advocated for people to vote for Trump to "bring about the revolution" quicker.
What gives her any right to attend the Democratic convention?
