Trevor now, every convention is not just about officially picking the nominee. Its also about telling a story about what the party represents. From the getgo last night, it was clear the democrats were trying to portray themselves as the party of diversity, unity and also patriotism. The show kicked off with people of every race, ethnicity and gender reciting the constitution, then the pledge of allegiance, then singing the national anthem, after which they were ominously trapped inside an american flag. Im assuming the only way to set them free is by electing joe biden president. Its clear why the democrats have to lay the patriotism on so thick because between protesting Police Brutality and kneeling during the anthem, the republicans are tried to make it seem democrats dont love america just because they criticize it. I get why democrats are trying to fight that perception, but if i want t to be honest, you will never beat trump when it comes to symbolic patriotism. Youre seeing an

Thencies tink racism. One of the powerful moments in the show came from a woman whose trump supporting father died from covid 19. I am one of the many who lost a loved one to covid. My dad should be here today, but he hasnt. He had faith in donald trump. He voted for him, listened to him, believed him and his mouthpieces when they said that coronavirus was under control and going to disappear. My dad went to a karaoke bar with his friends. A few weeks later, he was put on a ventilator and after five agonizing days, he died alone. His only preexisting condition was trusting donald trump. One of the last things that my father said to me was that he felt betrayed by the likes of donald trump. Trevor wow. That was absolutely scathing. And shes right. Believing donald trump is truly one of the most harmful things you can do. And that was even before he wasup. Just ask atlantic city, his first two wives or any graduate of Trump University the degree was made of asbestos but after hearing fro
new tonight on cnn, missile launches off the korean peninsula, this time by american and south korean forces of the eight missiles in total, a direct response to the same number of missiles launched by north korea this weekend. we want to be clear on this. the missiles were launched into the sea, but let s get more from cnn correspondent barbara starr. barbara, this is a clear message to north korea from the other side of the dmz. is this when the new south korean president means when they will get tougher on north korea. reporter: what you just said about the u.s. and south korean missiles going into the sea is really an important point because it just shows that it was a response. there was no consent of a military action here. it was a response to the north koreans launching eight are ballistic missiles earlier in the weekend. that was one of the big concerns right now is that north korea is continuing at a very fast pace of test launches in its ballistic missile program
