Former Prime Minister Liz Truss attended the Republican National Convention in support of Donald Trump, but do the Presidential candidate’s supporters even know who she is?
Truss Attends Republican Convention
Despite her attendance at the Republican National Convention in America, one video has proven that Liz Truss is not very well known across the pond.
Former Prime Ministers Hit USA
Former Prime Minister Liz Truss joined her predecessor Boris Johnson at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Illinois.
A Break From Politics
After her humiliating defeat in the general election, losing her constituency of 14 years, South West Norfolk, to the hands of the Labour Party, Truss turned her attention overseas.
Have You Seen Liz?
While on her trip, a video went viral of a reporter for the i Newspaper, who asked Trump fans whether they had seen the former Prime Minister.
Who Is Liz Truss?
Not one of the Trump fans in the video had seen or even heard of Liz Truss, the former Prime Minister who was in office for the shortest amount of time in history.
Celebrity Spotting… Oh Wait
One Trump supporter mentioned that they had seen “lots of famous people and lots of prominent figures,” including Liz Truss, right?
“I Don’t Know Who That Is”
When asked about the former Prime Minister, the person looked mystified, replying, “I don’t know who that is. Should I?”
“What’s a Liz Truss?”
Other Trump fans were asked similar questions about the whereabouts of Liz Truss. However, they too, looked stumped. “Liz Truss? No, what’s that?” One asked.
Truss Declares Trump Support
While on her trip to the USA, Truss endorsed her support for former President Donald Trump and didn’t hold back on her thoughts towards President Joe Biden.
Biden Is a “Weak President”
According to Liz Truss, the former Prime Minister who lasted 49 days in office before being ousted, Biden is a “Weak president.”
Trump Escapes Death
Truss offered her condemnation of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, where the former president narrowly escaped death during one of his rallies from a shooting.
Who’s to Blame?
When asked who she believed was responsible for the attack on the former President, Liz Truss surprised viewers with her response.
A Surprising Response
According to Liz Truss, Biden’s rhetoric was not to blame for the shooting. Instead, she put the blame solely on Trump’s security team for not spotting the shooter sooner.
Don’t Blame Biden
According to Truss, “It is the responsibility of the putative assassin and the security services what’s happened.”
Left-Wing Media
Despite her views, Truss did mention that she did not appreciate the rhetoric put forward by Biden and the left-wing media, which many Republicans are blaming for the shooting.
Rhetoric Not Solely to Blame
“I don’t like the rhetoric [from Biden]… but I am not prepared to draw the line between one and the other,” Truss claimed as she declared her support for Trump.
Truss Blames “Deep State”
This is interesting coming from someone who blamed the “deep state” for her 49 days in office. Truss is known to have controversial, right-wing views, although she was not prepared to put the blame on Biden.
Farage Makes Appearance
Another right-wing politician who made it to the Republican National Convention was Truss’s political rival and leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, but had he seen Truss?
Faraged Quizzed on Truss
A reporter asked Farage whether he had seen Liz Truss, to which he replied, “No.” When asked if he was looking for her, he replied, “No.”
