Prior to the official beginning of the second night of the republican National Convention program, which underwent significant changes immediately before going on air, feature pre-recorded segments on the Navajo nation and a pardoned bank robber.
Myron Lizor, a vice president of the Navajo nation, touted Trump’s start of a task force to focus federal law enforcement on missing Native American women.
Jon Ponder, a felon convicted of bank robbery and other crimes who has spent more than 20 years in prison, received a pardon from Trump today. He spoke with the FBI agent who arrested him, Richard Beasley. Ponder started a Las Vegas reentry program for ex-convicts which has helped hundreds of people who served jail time.
