Peter Navarro’s speech on the third night of the Republican National Convention immediately cleared up one thing: Anger is overtaking unity.
Navarro, who served as former President Donald Trump’s director of the U.S. Office of Trade and Manufacturing, joined the convention just hours after being released from prison, drawing sustained and fervent applause from the crowd. He’d been sentenced to four months after being held in contempt of Congress for refusing to honor a subpoena for records related to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
He began his speech seething with anger for what he described as being “locked up for disagreeing with the government.”
