Peter Navarro speaks at the RNC hours after being released from a Florida prison
Показать описание
Former Trump administration trade adviser Peter Navarro stood and touched his chest as the audience in Fiserv Forum applauded for at least a minute.
Navarro was released from a Florida prison earlier Wednesday after serving four moths for contempt of Congress, and jetted to Milwaukee Wednesday.
""If they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump, be careful, they can come for you," Navarro told convention goers and delegates.
"The Jan. 6 committee demanded I betray Donald Trump to save my own skin and I refused," Navarro said.
He sarcastically called Attorney General Merrick Garland a "winner" and said judges "threw me to the wolves of an anti-Trump jury in where else, the DC swamp. ... They did not break me."
Navarro's defiant speech was the rare mention of Jan. 6 on the convention floor.
Navarro spoke for more than 10 minutes – one of the longest speeches yet -- about what he called the “lawfare jackals” he blamed for locking him up.
Navarro embraced his fiancé on stage to wild cheers. It was a striking reception for one of Trump’s longest-standing advisors, though one who has not had a particularly high profile before his defiance of the Jan. 6 committee.
The scene was the sort of spectacle common at Trump rallies, where the presidential nominee routinely plays a recording made by those convicted of crimes on Jan. 6, who he refers to as “political prisoners.” But there hasn’t been a similar moment at the convention, which has so far avoided talking about Trump’s push to overturn his 2020 loss.
