What did Kai Madison say during her RNC speech?
Kai took the stage at the RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to talk about her grandfather on Wednesday, July 17, 2024.
The teenager sent massive shockwaves across the RNC when she gave — according to her father — her first-ever speech.
Trump revealed that Kai was invited to speak at the convention just days before it took place, following the attempted assassination of her grandfather on July 13.
Kai said: “I’m speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see.
“To me, he’s just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents are not looking. He always wants to know how we’re doing in school.
“When I made the high honor roll, he presented it out to his friends how proud he was of me.
“He calls me during the middle of the school day to ask how my golf game is going and tells me all about his.
“But then I have to remind him that I’m in school and I will have to call him back later.
She added: “A lot of people have put my grandpa through hell and he’s still standing. Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you.
“The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person, but I know him for who he is.”
According to Kai, her grandfather is “very caring and loving” and “truly wants the best for this country and he will fight every single day to make America great again.”
Kai had teased her speech on social media saying “I am honored to be speaking at the RNC at 9 pm (CDT).”
