ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「President Trump and his political allies mounted a fierce and misleading defense of his political record on the first night of the Republican National Convention on Monday, while unleashing a barrage of attacks on Joe Biden and the Democratic Party that were unrelenting in their bleakness. Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, pelted the Democratic nominee with insults and claimed the former vice president’s decades in Washington made him “the Loch Ness Monster of the swamp.” Nikki Haley, formerly the ambassador to the United Nations and governor of South Carolina, tried to link Biden to the “socialist left,” despite his record as a moderate. Haley delivered a lengthy speech, simultaneously making the case for President Trump while also setting the stage for her own possible presidential run in 2024. She invoked her parents, immigrants from India who settled in the South. “In much of the Democratic Party, it’s now fashionable to say that America is racist,” Haley said. “That is a lie. America is not a racist country.” Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fund-raiser for President Trump and the girlfriend of Trump Jr., delivered a blistering speech that contrasted the “socialist agenda” of the Democrats with the president’s role in delivering what she called “the greatest economy the world had ever known.” Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host, painted a dismaying picture of a future in which rioters would destroy America’s cities and the Democrats would steal Americans’ liberty. Senator Tim Scott, President Trump’s highest-profile Black supporter, offered a far more optimistic vision of America than many other speakers on Night 1 of the RNC — one where his rise “from cotton to Congress in one lifetime” is possible. “Our nation’s arc always bends back toward fairness. We are not fully where we want to be, but I thank God almighty we are not where we used to be,” Scott said. Tap the link in our bio for more on the RNC. Photos by @petemarovich」8月25日 13時02分
