Carl and Marsha Mueller, the parents of Kayla Mueller, commended President Donald Trump for his support during their Thursday speech at the Republican National Convention.

Marsha Mueller said her daughter was a humanitarian aid worker who helped children at an orphanage in India and aided Syrian refugees in Turkey. “Everywhere Kayla went, people smiled,” she said.
Kayla was working at a hospital along the border of Turkey and Syria in August 2013 when ISIS terrorists “stopped her vehicle and took her captive.” She was held hostage in a 12′ by 12′ cell for 18 months as her parents tried to work with the Obama administration to secure her release.

“ISIS terrorists shined bright lights in her face,” Carl Mueller said. “They shaved her head. They beat her and tortured her. The leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, raped her repeatedly.”
Carl Mueller slammed the Obama administration for refusing to meet with them. “To this day, we’ve never heard from Joe Biden,” he said. He added that the administration “hid behind” policy until more Americans were beheaded by ISIS.

‘The Torch That Enlightens The Entire World’ — Trump’s RNC Speech Mocked Biden’s ‘Kisses’ And Outlined Promises For A 2nd Term

President Donald Trump formally accepted the 2020 Republican presidential nomination Thursday night at the White House .
Very few details about the contents of his acceptance speech — written primarily by senior adviser to the president Stephen Miller and Trump himself — were leaked to the media ahead of his delivery , which alternated from celebrating “ our great American story ” and criticizing former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party .

” “ We will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emerge stronger than ever before.
” Turning his attention to his November opponent , Trump claimed there never has been a “ clearer choice between two parties , two visions , two philosophies or two agendas.
” “ This election will decide whether we will defend the American way of life or allow a radical left movement to completely dismantle and destroy it , ” he stated .
“ It will not happen.
” After mocking Biden for taking donations from blue-collar workers and giving them “ kisses , ” Trump proceeded to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s 47-year political career .
Touting “ historic criminal justice reform , prison reform , Opportunity Zones , and long-term funding of historically black colleges and universities , and “ the best unemployment numbers for African-Americans , Hispanic Americans , and Asian Americans ever recorded , ” he claimed to “ have done more in three years for the black community then Joe Biden has done in 47 years.
” He specifically claimed that his administration has spent the past three and a half years undoing foreign policy decisions Biden supported over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vice president , he supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership , which would have been a death sentence for the U.S. Auto industry .
