CLEVELAND (AP) — The art of the coronation has taken something of a beating at the Republican National Convention. Nevertheless, Donald Trump now has the crown — and a final chance to summon unity from the party's restive ranks in the ritual's closing days.
The roll call of the states Tuesday night delivered Trump the nomination, which he welcomed from afar in a videotaped message saying "This is a movement, but we have to go all the way." House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that Trump had amassed 1,725 delegates, more than triple the number of his nearest competitor, the fruits of a political phenomenon without parallel in modern times.
(CNSNews.com) – In her speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, the mother of diplomat Sean Smith, who was killed in the radical Islamic terrorist attack in Banghazi, Libya on Sept. 11, 2012, explained that, at her son's coffin ceremony, then-Secretary of State Clinton looked her in the eye and lied to her, blaming Sean Smith's death on an anti-Muslim video posted on YouTube.
"She lied to me and then called me a liar," said Patti Smith on Monday. At the Sept. 14, 2012 coffin ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base, attended by Clinton, President Obama, and other officials, Secretary Clinton "looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible," said Smith.
