Nets Use Melania’s Speech to Trash RNC; Holt Upset She Condemned Looting
Late Tuesday night, the “big three” broadcast networks were trapped between a rock and a hard place. ABC, CBS, and NBC found themselves begrudgingly praising First Lady Melania Trump’s 2020 RNC speech. And while they did plenty of that, they found an escape hatch by using her speech to broadly attack all the speakers before her on Monday and Tuesday.
That said, there was one outlandish attack. Seconds after she concluded, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt complained that she condemned “the violence and looting being done in the name of justice” because, in his eyes, that’ll offend protesters.
Here’s what Holt said in full:
She also talked about race, that we're not proud of parts of our history. She may have raised eyebrows when she talked about the need to stop looting in the name of justice. There will be those who will take offense to that who are in the streets protesting, not necessarily looting.
