Lara Trump told delegates and others in the audience at the Republican National Convention that she initially had prepared a “very different speech” than the one she delivered Tuesday night.
The daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump and co-chairman of the Republican National Committee shared the shock of the assassination attempt on husband Eric Trump’s father late Saturday afternoon.
“Our family has faced our fair share of death threats,” she said.
“None of that prepares you as a daughter-in-law to watch in real time someone try to kill a person you love,” she said. “None of that prepares you as a mother to quickly reach for the remote and turn your young children away from the screen so that they’re not witness to something that scars the memory of their grandpa for the rest of their lives.”
She was thankful for “prayers and well-wishes” in the 72 hours since.
“If Donald Trump has shown us anything, it’s that when it feels impossible to keep going, those are the times we must keep going.”
