Watch: Utah Attorney General’s full speech at the Republican National Convention Night 4

-

What did you think of Fil-Am Sean Reyes' speech?


Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes spoke on the final night of the Republican National Convention on Aug. 27, 2020. Reyes called President Donald Trump a “fierce warrior against human trafficking” and said the administration has spent hundreds of millions of dollars for raising awareness. Trump has provided grants to trafficking victims and stated the intent to provide more funds to state governments. There's no clear evidence that the administration has prioritized more than $35 million toward this goal. The party planned a mix of virtual and in-person events in North Carolina and Washington, D.C., for its nominating convention after the coronavirus pandemic interrupted plans for a traditional nominating event.

A quick search of @UtahAG's Twitter timeline on 'Filipino' yielded this one tweet.


This tweet is from Sean Reyes' personal Twitter account.


The Utah Attorney General also spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
