Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'Evil came' for Trump
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the RNC comes at a "somber moment," two days after the assassination attempt against Trump.
"Two days ago, evil came for the man we admire and love so much," she said. "I thank God that His hand was on President Trump."
She said she prays for the family of Corey Comperatore, who was killed at the rally.
"Corey embodied the spirit of America. First, he displayed the ultimate show of love when he shielded his wife and daughter, sacrificing his own life," she said. "He reminded America of what we must be -- a people who will do whatever it takes to defend the people and the nation that we love."
In turning her remarks toward the Biden administration, Greene said the Democrats have "ripped open our borders" and driven up housing costs and health care "while slashing American wages and eliminating jobs."
"They claim that our economy is thriving, yet hundreds of thousands of American-born workers lost their jobs these past few years," she said.
