Steve Bannon to headline Greenville GOP "America First" event
Yvonne Julian, chairwoman of the Greenville County Republican Party, described the local GOP as an 'America First' collection of activists.
The slate of speakers at the party's upcoming convention reflects its hardline support for President Donald Trump's agenda.
The Monday, April 14, evening event at the Greenville Convention Center will feature Steve Bannon, a former chief strategist in Trump's first administration and host of the War Room podcast. He is known as a populist with a penchant for provocative commentary.
Other speakers include U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC 1st District), as well as state treasurer Curtis Loftis, and WORD host Bill Frady.
'The convention – when all Greenville County precincts elect the party's county leadership – will be a massive MAGA Trump event,' according to the party's website.
The Greenville GOP has been controlled in recent years by the hard-charging America First caucus. Julian described the group's takeover of the party as 'draining the swamp at the local level.'
According the party website, 'Delegate spots are still open and all MAGA voters are encouraged to attend' the convention.
