7 People Roasted Trump at Democratic National Convention
The Democratic National Convention kicked off with a bang, not only celebrating Vice President Kamala Harris but also taking a strong stand against former President Donald Trump. The night was filled with powerful speeches and moments that highlighted the stark differences between Harris and Trump.
Former Vice President Joe Biden delivered a passionate speech, passing the torch to Harris and declaring that the crime rate would drop after the election, citing Senator Raphael Warnock’s criticism of Trump as a ‘plague on the American conscience.’ Warnock, a pastor, called out Trump for selling a $60 ‘God Bless The USA Bible,’ urging him to actually read it.
Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, made it clear that Harris is a fierce advocate for justice, contrasting her record of locking up murderers and drug traffickers with Trump’s 34 felony convictions. Rep. Jasmine Crockett energized the crowd by highlighting Trump’s criminal history and contrasting it with Harris’ impressive resume.
Rep. Jamie Raskin didn’t hold back, reminding Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, of the circumstances that led to the sudden vacancy in the GOP ticket. The evening also saw Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr borrowing a phrase from NBA star Steph Curry, adding to the fiery atmosphere.
Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers, made a bold statement by donning a t-shirt that read “TRUMP IS A SCAB,” referencing unfair labor practices charges filed against Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The powerful speeches and moments of the night underscored the Democrats’ resolve to take a stand against Trump and his allies.
