Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has gotten huge cheers from the crowd. He started his speech by saying, "The vast majority of Americans do not feel safe." Giuliani was in office when the 9/11 attacks occurred. “Every time New York suffered a tragedy, Donald Trump was there to help," he says to huge cheers.
Mike Pence, the presumptive vice presidential candidate, is in the audience Monday night for the convention. He's sitting next to former Republican presidential candidate, and former senator, Bob Dole.
The 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi is a theme the speakers at the Republican National Convention keep returning to:
Darryl Glenn, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in the western state of Colorado, took to the stage and told those gathered at the convention that somebody "with a nice tan needs to say this — all lives matter.” Glenn said civil rights activists Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do not speak for black America.
Several speakers on Monday night's program made references to the activist group Black Lives Matter, which took root after several incidents nationwide where African-American men were killed by police.
