‘Couldn’t Keep Up The Act’: Chris Wallace Gives Trump’s Speech A Truly Terrible Review
HuffPost
The CNN host suggested that the Biden campaign would be celebrating.
CNN’s Chris Wallace gave a blistering review of Donald Trump’s “rambling” Republican National Convention speech on Thursday, expressing disappointment at the former president’s failure to deliver the more unifying tone his campaign had been promising.
“The Trump campaign had talked so much about how we were going to see a softer, more reflective Donald Trump,” the former Fox News host said during a CNN panel discussion.
He said he momentarily believed it would be “a different Donald Trump” early on in the address when Trump said, “I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America.”
Wallace added, “But then, for all of that, it seemed as if he couldn’t keep up the act.”
Trump’s more subdued tone lasted 17 minutes. Then, he began attacking the criminal cases against him as “partisan witch hunts,” called Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “crazy,” and complained that the 2020 election was rigged, among other lies over the course of the 92-minute-long spiel.
