RNC Wednesday: Part 1


MTV News correspondents Jamil Smith and Ana Marie Cox, who also founded the blog Wonkette and is a contributor to The New York Times Magazine, discuss free-wheeling rhetoric against Clinton at the Republican National Convention. From Chris Christie's inflammatory show trial to Ben Carson overtly linking Clinton with Lucifer, the statements made by speakers at last night's convention 

Tom MacArthur, U.S. Representative of New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District, is the only New Jersey congressperson to attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. He talks about the high stakes of the election in November and unifying the GOP despite his disagreements with the Republican presidential nominee.

Renee Amoore, registered nurse and deputy chairman of Pennsylvania's Republican State Committee, talks about what makes her a Trump supporter as an African American woman and how the Republican party can reach out. 

"That’s what we need to do more and more, going out into the minority," Amoore said. "You can’t have us unless you reach out to us."
