Donald Trump's former press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, began her speech at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas on Thursday night in darkness. The spotlight meant for her remained off for a few seconds as she appeared behind the podium. Leavitt told the crowd it felt "much better speaking to a stadium full of patriots than a briefing room full of journalists."
