Some even questioned her faith because she read the prayer and didn’t have it memorized:

And Joy Reid was concerned with the signs in the background that said, “Blacks for Trump 2020”:
So this happened today (and the religious right went crazy for it. They loved it!) The other viral aspect? The signs behind Melania Trump… https://t.co/D6Rbc4Ys3a
