Not really. Truth is I could care less about that.
The thing that isn't being mentioned, which is of considerable importance, is the protests and empty seats at the convention. I looked at the Cernovich videos mentioned and and believe that he is relaying an accurate account. The protests at the Republican convention were almost non-existent. Indeed the only media outlet that covered any of the protests was Brietbart which no doubt would seem odd to most people here.
As always the sources are included and I recommend that you look at them.
