The Trump campaign blasted the first night of the Democratic National Convention as a production disaster.
On Monday, the Democratic convention opener, which featured speakers such as Govs. Andrew Cuomo, Gretchen Whitmer, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and former first lady Michelle Obama, was mocked by the Trump campaign as a "Hollywood-produced infomercial" with little substance.

“Perhaps it was just an oversight, but the first night of the Democrat convention left out the fact that Joe Biden would raise taxes on more than 80 percent of Americans by at least $4 trillion. Also missing was his open borders policy, with amnesty and work permits for 11 million illegal aliens," said Hogan Gidley, Trump campaign's national press secretary.
"There was no mention of Joe Biden’s desire to cut police funding, kill ten million energy jobs with a green new deal, or give free healthcare to illegal aliens, but in fairness, it was only the first night. Biden also failed to highlight his opposition to President Trump’s decision to restrict travel from China and Europe, which saved countless American lives. With history as our guide, if Joe Biden had been president, the coronavirus crisis would be dramatically worse," he continued.
Senior Trump campaign adviser Brad Parscale compared the two-hour event to a "Hollywood award show," and Sen. Marco Rubio sarcastically declared the inclusion of celebrities such as Eva Longoria a "brilliant move." Meanwhile, some felt Obama's keynote address livened up the night.
Is this the Democratic National Convention or a Hollywood award show?

Brilliant move! No one is more in touch with the challenges & obstacles faced by everyday Americans than actors & celebrities. https://t.co/nzHOniMHPN

Michelle Obama just turned the infomercial format into a literary genre.

"I wanted to like it. I really did, I promise I did," said former Democratic presidential contender Marianne Williamson, who was not present at the convention.

Some liberal commentators, such as Kyle Kulinski, mocked the convention's end-of-show performance by singer Billy Porter.
"The moment Trump won re-election," Kulinski said.
