Rep. Mia Love Blasts Trump in Concession Speech
-----------------------------------------------

Utah Republican Congressmember Mia Love slammed President Trump in a
concession speech Monday, after losing her congressional seat to
Democrat and Salt Lake County Mayor Ben Mc Adams. This is Rep. Love
responding to a question about Trump's lack of support for her campaign.

Rep. Mia Love: "This gave me a clear vision of his world as it is: no
real relationships, just convenient transactions. That is an
insufficient way to implement sincere service and policy."

In 2014, Mia Love became the first-and only-black woman Republican ever
elected to Congress. In her concession speech, she blasted her party for
failing to reach out to voters of color. After the midterm elections,
Trump blamed Republican losses on their refusal to "embrace" him.

President Trump: "Those are some of the people that, you know, decided
for their own reason not to embrace-whether it's me or what we stand
for. … Mia Love gave me no love, and she lost. Too bad. Sorry about
that, Mia."
