He called Democrats “weird” in a way that critics thought also came across as more than a little weird and wildly over the top.
“The Democrats’ extreme candidates will rip that heart out of our chests,” he shouted, pulling open his jacket and thumping on his chest as he said it. “They hate our culture! They hate what it means to be American!”

He also turned to religion.
“We’re talking about Jeeeeeeeeesus,” he yelled. “I said the king of kings, and the lord of lords, alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, that’s our God. That’s America. We looooove our God! Amen!”
