Right Wing Watch: The Extreme Speakers Making the RNC’s Big Push for the Suburban White Women Vote
[link removed]
The second and third nights of the Republican National Convention featured a number of leading Republican women voicing their adulation for President Trump while painting a dark picture of what the country would look like under the leadership of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. The messaging seemed to be directed at the one group Trump is losing support among: suburban white women, who appear to have grown disillusioned by Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, his antics and crassness, his willingness to antagonize, his racism and sexism.
And so the RNC trotted out women and people of color who support Trump no matter what Democrats say, insisting that Trump is not racist, he is not sexist, he is actually a very nice guy despite what your lying eyes and ears may tell you. They made the case that Trump, in fact, has hired women and supports criminal justice reform, even dolling out a live pardon on Tuesday night like it was a free car on reality TV. But the messengers were just as extreme as their president.

Republicans at the Convention During COVID-19
The Republican National Convention, was held this week and featured a smorgasbord of outright lies, propaganda, and dangerous behavior from Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans.
In any given week, Trump can often rely on his Republican allies to lift up his lies and dangerous actions, but at the 2020 RNC, such cronyism was at a reality-bending high. Attempting to provoke more pro-Trump fervor among their base, most speakers leaned into a theme of fear – not of COVID-19, but of the Democratic Party and its presidential nominee.
