有“美国”的口号和自豪的爱国主义。甚至副总统候选人也吹嘘他对枪支的热爱。

　　不，这不是共和党全国代表大会的重演，但这是一个共和党发言人名单，在大会上获得起立鼓掌民主党全国代表大会通过对前总统唐纳德·特朗普进行一些最严厉的抨击。

　　在民主党全国委员会的每个晚上，共和党成员从特朗普白宫的前新闻秘书到前“MAGA的正式成员”，都有机会站在讲台上向芝加哥的民主党代表发表讲话。

　　至少有七名共和党人被给予时间与他们的长期对手说话，包括众议员亚当·金辛格他们在周四晚上获得了黄金时段的发言机会，他们都表示已经抛弃了特朗普，支持哈里斯。

　　“我投票给特朗普不是一次，不是两次，而是三次。你知道，我在建筑行业工作。我用我的双手工作。他告诉我们他会照顾蓝领工人。因此，我向特朗普做出了我有史以来的第一笔政治捐款，并在他的总统任期内多次向他捐款，”阿拉巴马州的凯尔·斯威特瑟(Kyle Sweetser)周二晚上在民主党全国委员会的演讲中说。“但后来我开始看到特朗普的关税政策在发挥作用。像我这样的建筑工人的成本开始飙升。我意识到特朗普不适合我。他在中饱私囊。”

　　斯威特瑟说他不是“左翼分子”,就这样。但我相信，我们的领导人应该把我们最好的一面展现出来，而不是最差的一面。”

　　前佐治亚州共和党副州长杰夫·邓肯(Geoff Duncan)周三晚上接受了起立鼓掌，当时他告诉人群，特朗普试图推翻2020年的选举“使他再也没有资格踏进椭圆形办公室。”

　　“如果共和党人在理智上对自己诚实，我们的党就不是文明的或保守的。又混乱又疯狂。而剩下唯一要做的就是甩了川普，”邓肯说。"这些天来，我们党的行为更像一个邪教，一个崇拜一个重罪暴徒的邪教."

　　他说他支持哈里斯，并盯着镜头对他的“在家观看的共和党朋友”说话。

　　“如果你在2024年投票给卡玛拉·哈里斯，你就不是一个民主党人，你是一个爱国者，”Duncan说，引发了“美国!美国。!"

　　前特朗普白宫新闻秘书斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆(Stephanie Grisham)告诉与会者，她是特朗普的“忠实信徒”。

　　“我是他最亲密的顾问之一。特朗普一家成了我的家人，”格里沙姆说，她补充说，她和特朗普一家在佛罗里达州的Mar-a-Lago度过了复活节、感恩节、圣诞节和新年。

　　格里沙姆对特朗普进行了幕后观察，声称他嘲笑他的支持者，称他们为“地下室居民”。

　　“有一次去医院，当有人在重症监护室里奄奄一息时，他很生气，因为摄像机没有监视他，”Grisham声称。“他没有同情心，没有道德观念，也不忠于事实。他曾经告诉我，‘你说什么都不重要，斯蒂芬妮。说多了，人们就会相信你。但这很重要。你说的重要，你没说的重要。"

　　Grisham说，在白宫工作时，她因为从来不举行新闻发布会而被人嘲笑。她说这是因为“我从来不想站在讲台上撒谎。”

　　格里沙姆在周二晚上的演讲中说:“现在，我站在讲台上支持民主党，这是因为我爱我的国家胜过我的政党。”

　　特朗普政府的另一名老兵、副总统迈克·彭斯的前国土安全助理奥利维亚·特罗伊(Olivia Troye)表示，她在白宫工作的梦想变成了一场噩梦。

　　“我看到唐纳德·特朗普如何破坏我们的情报界、我们的军事领导人，并最终破坏我们的民主进程，”特罗伊在周三晚上的演讲中说。“现在，他又来了。撒谎并为破坏这次选举埋下伏笔。”

　　Troye补充说，“在特朗普的白宫里很可怕，但让我晚上睡不着的是，如果他回到那里会发生什么。”

　　亚利桑那州梅萨市市长约翰·贾尔斯周二在民主党全国委员会的演讲中说:“我要坦白:我是一个终身的共和党人。”

　　“今晚我觉得有点不自在，但我在这里比在今天的共和党更有家的感觉。大老党已经被极端分子绑架，演变成一个邪教，对唐纳德·特朗普的邪教，”贾尔斯说。“特朗普对公共服务一无所知。像个孩子一样，他的行为纯粹是出于私利。白宫里我们都需要一个成年人。我们已经看到了当我们没有时会发生什么。”

　　佛罗里达州的里奇·罗吉斯告诉与会者，两年前他是“MAGA的正式成员”

　　“我相信了特朗普。我是一个杂志专家。我有自己的播客。我处于恐慌状态，害怕民主党人正在摧毁我们的国家，”罗吉斯说，周一晚上通过视频链接向大会发表讲话。

　　他说，当疫情袭击时，他开始看到稳固的领导有多重要，并将特朗普对危机的处理描述为“对国家的重大背叛”

　　“所以我终于走出了MAGA回音室。我不再听特朗普说什么，用自己的眼睛环顾四周。我意识到他几乎所有的事情都在撒谎。说谎是特朗普的有毒超能力，”罗吉斯说。"我犯了一个严重的错误，但现在改变主意还为时不晚。"

　　Roster of Republicans slam Trump at the DNC

　　There were chants of "USA" and boasts of patriotism. Even the vice presidential candidate touted his love of guns.

　　No, it was not the Republican National Convention all over again, but it has been a roster of Republican speakers getting standing ovations at theDemocratic National Conventionby taking some of the harshest swipes at former President Donald Trump.

　　Every night of the DNC, GOP members from a former press secretary for the Trump White House to a former "full-fledged member of MAGA," have been given a chance to stand at the podium and address the Democratic delegates in Chicago.

　　At least seven Republicans have been given time to speak to their longtime rivals -- includingRep. Adam Kinzingerwho was given a prime-time speaking slot Thursday night -- and all of them said they've dumped Trump and are supporting Harris.

　　"I voted for Trump not once, not twice, but three times. You see, I work in construction. I work with my hands. He told us he’d look out for blue-collar workers. So, I made my first-ever political contribution to Trump and I donated to him many times throughout his presidency," Kyle Sweetser of Alabama said during his DNC speech Tuesday night. "But then I started to see Trump's tariff policy in action. Costs for construction workers like me were starting to soar. I realized that Trump wasn't for me. He was lining his own pockets."

　　Sweetser said he's not "left-wing, period. But I believe our leaders should bring out the best in us, not the worst."

　　Former Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan received a standing ovation Wednesday night when he told the crowd that Trump's attempts to overthrow the 2020 election "disqualified him from ever, ever, ever stepping foot into the Oval Office again."

　　"If Republicans are being intellectually honest with ourselves, our party is not civil or conservative. It's chaotic and crazy. And the only thing left to do is dump Trump," Duncan said. "These days, our party acts more like a cult, a cult worshiping a felonous thug."

　　He said he was supporting Harris and stared into the camera to speak to his "Republican friends at home watching."

　　"If you vote for Kamala Harris in 2024 you're not a Democrat, you're a patriot," said Duncan, prompting chants of "USA! USA.!"

　　Former Trump White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told conventiongoers that she was "a true believer" of Trump.

　　"I was one of his closest advisers. The Trump family became my family," said Grisham, adding that she spent Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's with the Trumps at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

　　Grisham offered a behind-the-scenes look at Trump, alleging he mocks his supporters, calling them "basement dwellers."

　　"On a hospital visit one time when people were dying in the ICU, he was mad the cameras were not watching him," Grisham alleged. "He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth. He used to tell me, 'It doesn't matter what you say, Stephanie. Say it enough and people will believe you.' But it does matter. What you say matters and what you don't say matters."

　　Grisham said while working in the White House she was skewered for never holding a press briefing. She said it was because "I never wanted to stand at a podium and lie."

　　"Now, here I am at a podium advocating for a Democrat and that's because I love my country more than my party," Grisham said during her speech Tuesday night.

　　Another Trump administration veteran, Olivia Troye, a former homeland security aide to Vice President Mike Pence, said her dream of working in the White House turned into a nightmare.

　　"I saw how Donald Trump undermined our intelligence community, our military leaders and, ultimately, our democratic process," Troye said during her speech Wednesday night. "Now, he’s doing it again. Lying and laying the groundwork to undermine this election."

　　Troye added, "Being inside Trump's White House was terrifying, but what keeps me up at night is what will happen if he gets back there."

　　Mesa, Arizona, Mayor John Giles began his DNC speech Tuesday by saying, "I have a confession to make: I'm a lifelong Republican."

　　"I feel a little out of place tonight, but I feel more at home here than in today's Republican party. The Grand Old Party had been kidnapped by extremists and evolved into a cult, the cult of Donald Trump," Giles said. "Trump doesn't know the first thing about public service. Like a child, he acts purely out of self-interest. We all need an adult in the White House. We've seen what happens when we don't have one."

　　Rich Logis of Florida told the conventioneers that two years ago he was a "full-fledged member of MAGA."

　　"I believed Trump. I was a MAGA pundit. I had my own podcast. I was in a state of panic, terrified the Democrats were destroying our country," Logis said, addressing the convention Monday night via a video link.

　　He said that when the pandemic hit, he began to see how important solid leadership is and described Trump's handling of the crisis as "a major betrayal to the country."

　　"So I finally stepped outside the MAGA echo chamber. I stopped listening to what Trump said and looked around with my own eyes. And I realized he had been lying about pretty much everything. Lying is Trump's toxic superpower," Logis said. "I made a grave mistake, but it's never too late to change your mind."
