    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Analysts say a stew of extreme ideologies simmers under the softer image the RNC projected this week of a party that would make room for any MAGA-style patriot, whether a rap-world model or a Nicaraguan immigrant or a Sikh attorney.

    He drew outrage for a speech at a church last month in which he said, “Some people need killing.” Mike Lonergan, Robinson’s campaign spokesman, said on X that the candidate’s words referenced World War II enemies and were taken out of context in a “gutless and dishonest smear.”

    Greene has said that if she had led the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, “it would’ve been armed” and “we would have won.” At the RNC, she ridiculed Democrats for observing Transgender Visibility Day, for allowing “millions of illegal aliens to pour in” and for failing to provide “unity.”

    Within the convention, White supremacist or anti-government symbols of the sort that are sometimes visible at Trump rallies were scarce among attendees, though one woman sported a dress designed like an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which is associated with Christian nationalism and political violence.

    Texas delegate Adolpho Telles, 74, noted that the gathering also featured more establishment Republican figures, such as former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, along with some surprise appearances that were interpreted as gestures toward national unity.

    As Haley was onstage urging the crowd to embrace a big-tent Republican vision, Dhillon was on the receiving end of bigoted online attacks from fellow conservatives Across social media, pro-Trump commenters blasted her “satanic chants” and “witchcraft,” calling her a “pagan blasphemer” and demanding her deportation.
