RNC Featured Diverse Lineup of Speakers
The 2020 Republican National Convention (RNC) this week featured a notable amount of diversity in its speaker lineup that included nearly two dozen Black, Hispanic, Asian, and even handicapped speakers.
The speakers delivered heartfelt speeches about their own personal struggles, how they became Republican, or how they have benefitted under the Trump administration.
One of the most memorable speeches from the first night of the RNC was from Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican senator of South Carolina, who said he went from flunking four subjects in high school to realizing that education was the closest thing to “magic.” . . .
“Our family went from cotton to Congress in one lifetime.” – @SenatorTimScott

Another memorable speech the first night was from Kimberly Klacik, a young female U.S. House of Representative candidate for Maryland’s 7th district.
Kim Klacik, a Republican running for Congress in Maryland, said at the RNC: "Democrats still assume that Black people will vote for them, no matter how much they let us down and take us for granted. Nope. We’re sick of it and not going to take it anymore.” https://t.co/ErrkmutHCn pic.twitter.com/U9G2cZj9AD

Rep. Vernon Jones (D-GA), a Georgia state representative, also delivered a fiery speech on the first night, saying the Democrat Party does not “want black people to leave the mental plantation they’ve had us on for decades.”

“When I watch the news in Seattle and Chicago and Portland, when I see history being rewritten, when I hear the promises—I hear echoes of a former life I never wanted to hear again. I see shadows I thought I had outrun.” #LatinosForTrump https://t.co/Lpu9BKqrai
