U.S. Rep. John James' speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee went for about six minutes on the first day of the event.
James, a Black businessman, former Army helicopter pilot and first-term congressman, talked about how his father grew up in the segregated South and went on to found a trucking company shipping beer between Detroit and Milwaukee.
While his parents encountered racism, he said, "it did not define the nation they love."
"America is the greatest idea that’s ever been," James continued. "It's worth fighting for, it’s worth sacrificing for and its worth getting out and voting for."
James went on to sharply criticize President Joe Biden's administration, claiming its actions had caused sharp increases in inflation, allowed undocumented immigrants to pour across the southern border and set the stage for the war between Russian and Ukraine.
