Following the approval of Trump and his deputy's candidacy for a second term, the speakers expressed strong opposition to Biden • Haley: "Some argue that America is racist - that's a lie"

The Republican convention kicked off tonight (Tuesday) in Charlotte. As promised, President Donald Trump was present at the event after accepting the candidacy for another term and addressing the deputies in North Carolina claiming that Democrats are trying to steal the election.

The Republican line was evident throughout the evening, with each speaker drawing a portrait of America's future state in the event that Democratic candidate Joe Biden wins the November election and claims it will usher in an era of socialism and chaos.

Similar to the Democratic convention, the Republican convention was largely virtual and most of the speeches were broadcast on screens, even though Trump tried to cause a large event in the presence of thousands of people, but the spread of the corona prevented this. The president focused mainly on advancing the issue of "law and order" and opening schools and businesses after months that were closed following the corona. Both of these messages are at the center of the campaign to attract the votes of suburban residents, especially women.

Presidential adviser to President Kimberly Gilfoil, Donald Trump Jr.'s partner, said in a speech that Democrats "want to destroy our country and everything we fought for. They want to steal your freedom and control what you see, think and believe so they can control form. That's where you live. "

The president's son has put the social unrest and protests at the center of his speech in recent months following the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in May, claiming that these were violent attacks on small businesses by anarchists. Trump Jr. further said that if Biden wins, Democrats will not be able to restore calm to the streets.

The opening night of the conference also focused on the Democratic candidate and his deputy Camela Harris, arguing that both would be puppets on a string of radical left-wing activists. Many speakers have accused Biden of wanting to change the police system, although this claim has been repeatedly rejected by him.

One of the standout speeches during the evening belonged to the United States Ambassador to the UN and Israel's friend Nicki Haley who is considered one of the rising stars of the party, who worked to win the votes of women and minorities.

"Parts of the Democratic Party claim that America is racist, but that's a lie," Hailey said, praising the president for his actions during his tenure against Iran against countries like China and North Korea. In addition, the former ambassador added that the UN was a place where dictators sought economic assistance from the United States, but since Trump was appointed president “he has put an end to it. We did what Obama and Biden refused to do - we did everything for America and we stood strong in the face of our enemies. "
