Ahemmmm…
There was a leak on RNC Convention speakers…
The GOP has been tight-lipped, but word has leaked out that this passionate and eloquent Trumpster will be one of the speakers at the Republican National Convention. 😬 pic.twitter.com/r4cCoEFzml

I wonder if they will speak before or after Patrick Lynch.

For as long as I can remember (I am turning 76 tomorrow) I watched every political convention, both sides.
This year I am making an exception for Trump’s Nuremberg rally.

I hear they’re arriving on a very slow zip line while the Bond theme plays.

Doubling down on protecting the white suburbs from black people as the central theme of his campaign. Of course. No other “issues” to address I guess.

Will they bring their guns? Much likelier than bringing their masks.

Look at how short that guy is - and how drunk the wife.

“… that the couple who have become a symbol in Trump’s racially-divisive campaign would appear at next week’s convention.”
More accurately a symbol of lunacy.

Well, of course they’ll be honored guests. The “Law and Order” party will welcome all prominent vigilantes with open arms.
Remember: the Second Amendment means that if you’re carrying firearms, the laws don’t apply to you!

They make one question the wisdom of reaching out to Republicans…but they ARE the true face of the GOP now.

Red Meat for the Knuckle-draggers and assholes who support the Asshole-in-Chief.
Here is the “message” that will come out from the “Republican Convention” (which is really just a photo-op on the White House Lawn); “The Blacks, Browns, Gays, and Godless Communists are COMING FOR YOUR GUNS, BIBLES, and WOMEN. Only God-King Trump can protect your precious pickup truck from the ravening hordes of Prius-driving, Latte-sipping, Hipster-ANTIFA rioters that want to burn down your small business, loot your house, take your children and wives away from you, lower your PROPERTY VALUES, take away your BEER, and make you wear sandals, tie-dye shirts, and a man-bun.”

The problem with the McCloskeys is that they don’t live in suburbia, they live in a very nice part of St. Louis City, which is not St. Louis County.
