Mia Love To RNC: ‘Let Me Tell You About The America I Know’

Newcomer Mia Love, a House candidate from Utah, riled the Republican National Convention with her speech Tuesday night. Love is challenging six-term Democratic Jim Matheson — and if elected, she would be the first black Republican woman in Congress.

“Let me tell you about the America I know. My parents immigrated to this country with $10 in their pocket, and a hope that the America they had heard about really did exist,” Love said. “When tough times came, they didn’t look to Washington — they looked within. So the America I grew up knowing was centered in self-reliance, and filled with the possibilities of living the American dream.”

And with that $10 bucks and no other assistance from anyone along the way, they made it.

Yeah, right.
