First Lady Wows at RNC Convention
In her own words this time: Melania Trump’s speech to the RNC was filled with compassion and calls for unity.
First Lady Melania Trump closed the second night of the Republican National Convention on Tuesday from the Rose Garden at the White House, where she expressed her pride and gratitude in being an American and her support for President Trump’s reelection.
The First Lady said she had reflected on the “racial unrest in our country.”
“It is a harsh reality that we are not proud of parts of our history. I encourage people to focus on our future while still learning from our past.” She urged others to come together, “in a civil manner, so we can work and live up to our standard of American ideals.”
“Instead of tearing things down, let’s reflect on our mistakes,” Mrs. Trump said; “Be proud of our evolution and look to our way forward. Every day, let us remember that we are one nation under God, and we need to cherish one another.”
Melania Trump offered her condolences for every American impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
