Even Fox News hated the cult leaders speech
“Chris has a point,” Hume said. “The speech was very, very long. I don’t know that any speech at an hour and ten minutes, uninterrupted by anything visual, can work very well…And he was, as Chris suggests, I think a little flat. He’s done very good speeches from teleprompters before, but tonight he seemed to miss the excitement he generates in himself when he’s ad libbing.”
Besides the speech, Wallace condemned the event altogether for the blatant disregard for safety protocols amid the ongoing
coronavirus pandemic, which has now claimed
over 180,000 American lives. Throughout the convention, the coronavirus
has been downplayed, on the rare occasion it was mentioned at all, and on Thursday night, though outside, a large crowd gathered, seated close together on the lawn of the White House to watch Trump speak.
“One other thing we have to note, and that is the event itself,” Wallace said. “The fact that there were 2,000 people in close quarters on the south lawn there, with no, seemingly, very few of them with masks, no social distancing, ignoring all of the public health recommendations. I suspect that’s gonna get a lot of comment (sic) in the next few days.”
