The 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi is a theme the speakers at the Republican National Convention keep returning to:
Darryl Glenn, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in the western state of Colorado, took to the stage and told those gathered at the convention that somebody "with a nice tan needs to say this — all lives matter.” Glenn said civil rights activists Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do not speak for black America.
Several speakers on Monday night's program made references to the activist group Black Lives Matter, which took root after several incidents nationwide where African-American men were killed by police.
Milwaukee (Wisconsin) County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. just took the stage and told the crowd: "Blue Lives Matter," to cheers and shouts from the crowd. Clarke has given interviews where he described the activist group Black Lives Matter as having a “hateful ideology." Blue Lives Matter refers to law enforcement officials.
The theme of Monday night's program at the Republican National Convention is Make America Safe Again. Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. was part of the Hollywood star power on display Monday night. He joined Duck Dynasty reality start Willie Robertson and Scott Baio.
