“We don’t want them in our country”, he said.
“Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement”, he said. He sounded only a half tick more presidential than he usually does, filling the longest presidential nomination acceptance speech in at least 48 years (and perhaps ever) with his familiar foreboding, dark, exclusionary rhetoric. “This will all change when I take office”.
