There have been some changes announced for the upcoming Republican National Convention in the last 48 hours, but with something else taking up the bandwidth, they flew under the radar. After handing Tiny Ron DeSantis a speaking slot earlier in the week, former Never-Trumper Nikki Haley was added to the roster, presumably as a sign of GOP unity in the wake of the thing.
Two things will not change. First, the security: the FBI said no additional security will be added to the Milwaukee convention site because no specific threat has been identified. Of course the FBI would say this, though: they’re not going to disclose adding additional security or expanding the security ring, nor would they say, “Y’know, you’re right: we didn’t plan for one of the conventioneers firing on us.”
Second, the speeches: RNC officials have reportedly told the list of approved speakers not to change their pre-approved speeches to refer to the assassination attempt–an attempt that was made by a shooter who was called a dyed-in-the-wool conservative by his high school classmates–that winged Trump’s ear. Convention organizers reportedly want to limit the mentions to a few pre-selected people.
