7 Best Zingers for Trump at Democratic National Convention

The opening night of the Democratic National Convention wasn’t just a celebration of Vice President Kamala Harris, who quickly rose to the top after President Joe Biden ended his campaign last month.

It was also about going on the offensive against Donald Trump.

Biden himself turned up the heat as he ended the night with a rousing speech, passing the torch to his veep. At one point he noted that the crime rate is dropping, and will drop again after the election, for a very specific reason:

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) called Trump a “blight on the American conscience.”

Warnock, who is also a pastor, noted the $60 “God Bless The USA Bible” that Trump has promoted.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex.) also got the crowd cheering with a reference to Trump’s criminal convictions.

Suitcases containing sensitive documents were found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, including some next to a toilet:

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) gave Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), a reminder of why the number two spot on the GOP ticket was even available to him:

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr borrowed a phrase from NBA superstar Steph Curry:

Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers, let his T-shirt do the talking Monday night.

“In the words of the great American poet Nelly: ‘It’s getting warm here“,” Fain said, before taking off his jacket to reveal a shirt that read “TRUMP IS A SCAB.”

The UAW filed an unfair labor practice charge against Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk after a conversation in which the two spoke positively about firing striking employees.
