Having Amber Rose speak at the RNC was crucial
Last week, I had the challenging task of explaining the “Hawk Tuah” girl to my curious Boomer mother.
This week, it will be Amber Rose, thanks to her primetime speech at the Republican National Convention on Monday night.
Yes, that Amber Rose.
The former stripper turned video vixen who rose to fame during her relationship with Kanye West, from 2008 to 2010. The mixed-race mother of two was married to rapper Wiz Khalifa and is known for hosting “SlutWalks” to advocate for sex positivity and protest gender inequality.
She is known for her flashy style and skin-tight clothing, along with having her sons’ names tattooed on her forehead. We may not seem to have much in common on the surface, but her recent political speech showcased a different side of her.
In her nearly four-minute speech at the RNC, Rose made a compelling case for unlikely political conversions. She opened up about a political disagreement with her father, a Trump supporter, that sparked her curiosity about the former president.
She did her research to prove her father wrong, leading to her own interest in Trump. Her speech focused on kitchen table issues and independent thinking, highlighting concerns about inflation and the chaotic news cycle.
It wasn’t her celebrity status that made her speech interesting, but rather her willingness to challenge stereotypes and express her evolving views on such a large platform.
Rose’s address at the RNC emphasized the importance of individual thinking and breaking away from traditional narratives. She found common ground with a party she had previously dismissed, showcasing a different side of conservative politics.
Despite criticisms from some conservatives, Rose’s message resonated with undecided voters by promoting open-mindedness and a willingness to challenge the status quo within political ideologies.
Rose’s speech exemplified the evolving nature of the Republican Party under Trump and the importance of embracing diversity within the conservative movement. She highlighted the possibility of finding common ground despite differences in background and beliefs.
Ultimately, Rose’s message emphasized the need for inclusivity and open dialogue within political discourse, offering a fresh perspective on conservative values and outreach strategies.
Her speech at the RNC demonstrated a shift in conservative politics, encouraging a broader base of support and challenging traditional party norms to attract a more diverse and inclusive audience.
