Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., spoke Monday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, slamming the administration of President Joe Biden for global wars, the opioid epidemic and advocating for transgender rights.
“An American government that serves the interests not of the wealthy, the globalists, or the powerful few, but of all hard working Americans is within our grasp,” Greene said, adding that former President Donald Trump “will make America successful again.”
The convention came two days after an assassination attempt against Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. The suspected shooter, who was killed by law enforcement, killed one person and seriously injured two.
On Monday, delegates formally nominated Trump as the Republican candidate for president, hours after Trump named Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate. During the convention, delegates will also adopt a party platform.
