Prominent speakers who will take part in the convention include President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and multiple Republican representatives and senators.

Tony Sayegh, who is managing the program for the GOP convention, joined Washington Political Editor Matt Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday over the weekend to discuss the event.

“Obviously this has been a very unconventional convention,” Sayegh told Boyle of the virtual convention. “We have transformed this into something unique.”

“It really doesn’t matter where it ended up,” Sayegh said in regards to the location of the convention. “We have the best message and the best messenger in the president. And we have four years of great, great progress in this country that is almost unparalleled in this period of time that we want to highlight.”

“We are turning our convention over to the American people, the forgotten men and women in this country that the president has dedicated his presidency to fighting for,” Sayegh continued. “We’re gonna have a people’s convention, much to the opposite of what the Democrats did with their political, establishment elite stars.”

Sayegh also said the convention would heavily focus on the “consequences that would come from a Biden administration.”

I have even less sympathy for the destructive rioters and arsonists burning whole parking lots of vehicles as some knee-jerk response.

I watched the video of today's speech, all 52 minutes of them,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONWVVDKK3H8&list=TLPQMjUwODIwMjDJlM2QDf9qsg&index=4

This man is brilliant, and he has heart. My anti-Trump entourage would kill me for saying that, and I thank God for anonymity lol, but I repeat, Trump has heart. The Leo rising is plain obvious. Loves the limelight, can tell a story well, and knows how to play up to his audience.

Yes, I know, he is also vindictive, takes jabs at his enemies- what politician does not?- he has a weakness for superlatives (the best, the most) but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable 52 minutes.

"What a huge Day 1 of the RNC"

It was a huge day 1 for the Republican Convention. The Republican Convention made the democrat convention look like it was put together by a bunch of 3rd graders.

"20 Republican members of Congress endorse Biden"

20 'republican members of congress DID NOT endorse Biden.

"Eric Trump pleads the 5th in a criminal investigation"

Eric Trump DID NOT plead the 5th Amendment in any criminal proceeding...or anywhere else.

"Kellyanne Conway leaves WH"

So what?

"Jerry Falwell Jr. resigns"

His wife had an affair that became public after her boyfriend tried to extort money from them.

"Melania recorded bashing her husband and Ivanka"

Your big chance to provide a link to those 'secret tape recordings' right here.

"Michael Steele joins Lincoln Project"

What else would you expect a failed politician and MSDNC token republican to do
