Protests continue against Donald Trump on third day of Republican National Convention. Inside the convention hall at Cleveland, Senator Ted Cruz refused to endorse Trump, shattering the nicely scripted facade of the party unity.
“…vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution”, he said while addressing the convention.
Angry Trump supporters booed Ted Cruz and chanted “We want Trump”. Cruz’s wife, Heidi, also faced the jeers of angry Trump supporters. She was quickly taken off the floor out of fear for her safety.
Interestingly, “vote your conscience” has also been a famous slogan of anti-Trump movement. Cruz’s call for people to vote their conscience was seen as his vote of no confidence in Trump.
Outside the convention hall, anti-Trump continued their protests for the third day of the convention. Cruz’s remarks were taken very well by the protesters. “Conscience can never ask someone to vote for Trump,” said a protester present outside the convention hall.
