Column: Republican National Convention is an exercise in collective amnesia
LA TimesFormer President Trump acknowledges the delegates during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Donald Trump resurfaced at the Republican National Convention, ushered in by a video montage of his jiggle-dancing to the gay anthem “Y.M.C.A.” Kamala Harris was repeatedly trashed — mockingly referred to as the failed “border czar” — a signal she’s seen as a possible sub for the beleaguered President Biden. Trump’s erstwhile rival, Nikki Haley, delivered her unqualified endorsement in the “name of unity” — backpedaling from her earlier animus faster than Never-Trumper-turned-running-mate J.D. Others alluded to Trump’s alleged persecution, to the supposed politicization of the Justice Department and to the ex-president’s “illegal impeachment,” as New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik put it, making absolutely no sense. “He taught his kids the right values,” Justice said of the Trump offspring’s prowess with a lug wrench and jack.
