Thursday, July 21, 2016
Oops. A little fact checking on GOP Chairman Brandon Bell’s national moment in the sun at the Convention unveiled that Bell missed on a few of his statements.
According to a review over at GoLocal, the GOP Chair made a little bit of a mess of the numbers he quoted. Here is a review.
MADAM SECRETARY, BRANDON BELL, STATE CHAIRMAN OF THE RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN PARTY AS WELL AS THE DELEGATION CHAIR OF THIS INCREDIBLE RHODE ISLAND DELEGATION WHICH INCLUDES MY COLLEAGUE LEE ANN SENNICK, OUR NATIONAL COMMITTEEWOMAN, AND MY COLLEAGUE AND COMMITTEEMAN STEVE FRIAS, WHO WILL BE THE NEXT STATE REPRESENTATIVE FROM DISTRICT 15 IN CRANSTON AFTER HE BEATS THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IN RHODE ISLAND, WHO IS A DEMOCRAT. ROGER WILLIAMS FOUNDED THE COLONY OF RHODE ISLAND IN 1631 BASED UPON PRINCIPLES OF COMPLETE RELIGIOUS TOLERATION, SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, AND POLITICAL DEMOCRACY.

OOPS - Roger Williams Founded Rhode Island 1636
THE UNITED STATES WOULD AFTER BE FOUNDED UPON. WE ARE THE OCEAN STATE AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL BACK HOME. UNFORTUNATELY, GOVERNMENT IS NOT WORKING IN RHODE ISLAND FOR THE PEOPLE. THE STATE IS RUN BY A CORRUPT DEMOCRAT POLITICAL MACHINE THE LAST 80 YEARS.
OPPS - The Bloodless Revolution took place on January 1, 1935 — 81 years ago
IN OUR STATE, WE ARE CONSTANTLY RANKED NEAR THE BOTTOM, REGIONALLY RANKED 50TH WORST IN TERMS OF OUR BUSINESS-FRIENDLY CLIMATE. DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP IN OUR STATE HAS BEEN RAMPANT CORRUPTION, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY, AND UNETHICAL CONDUCT WHICH MAKES IT KNOWS THE PRIZE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE IS SUPPORTED BY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF RHODE ISLAND'S STATE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP.
PARTIALLY RIGHT: RI was ranked 50th in the CNBC state business ranking, but in other media and think tank business rankings Rhode Island is ranked as high as 40th
IT SHOULD THEREFORE COME AS NO SURPRISE THAT RHODE ISLAND DELIVERED, SORRY JERSEY, THE LARGEST MARGIN OF VICTORY IN A THREE-WAY RACE WITH THE MOST AMOUNT OF VOTES CAST IN THE HISTORY OF REPUBLICAN PRIMARY WITH OVER 64% FOR DONALD J. TRUMP. THEREFORE, MADAM SECRETARY, PLEASE CAST FROM A PROUD AND UNIFIED RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN PARTY, TO VOTES FOR SENATOR CRUZ, FIVE VOTES FIRST FOUR JOHN KASICH, AND 12 VOTES FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] -- DONALD J. TRUMP. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Take a look at the RI vote -- it starts at 1:09:12
