The Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C., saw significant tension and conflict as former President Donald Trump prepared to address the attendees. The convention, which was divided over the presence of Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr., devolved into verbal clashes and shouting matches between Trump supporters and Libertarians. Senator Mike Lee, who attempted to warm up the crowd for Trump, was met with boos and jeers. As Trump took the stage at 8 pm, he faced continuous heckling, with attendees criticizing his COVID-19 policies and political record. Suburban Republicans had driven in to attend the event at a Washington hotel. Despite the hostility, some segments of the audience cheered by the end of his speech.
