|    Melania Trump's RNC speech not vetted    |

      From: januarybaybee@gmail.com              Uh oh. Why not? I wonder if Trump will take a Valium before she speaks.               =====================       CNN Updated 8:22 PM ET, Tue August 25, 2020                            Melania Trump's RNC speech not vetted by the West Wing              The speech Melania Trump will deliver from the Rose Garden tonight (or the       East Room, if it rains) was not vetted by anyone in the West Wing, Stephanie       Grisham confirms to CNN, nor did anyone on the President’s staff approve the       content.              It is unusual for a first lady to deliver a speech of this magnitude to this       large an audience without it being vetted by anyone in the West Wing,       specifically to monitor for messaging alignment.              This year, as she did in 2016, Melania Trump shunned the help of professional       speechwriters.              Most of her remarks were written by a senior aide, says a campaign official,       who tells CNN Trump spent several hours last night in the East Wing rehearsing       and making final adjustments to the copy.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
