Amber Rose to Speak at RNC Convention to Endorse Donald Trump

Philadelphia-born television star Amber Rose he says he’s going to Milwaukee next week to speak at the Republican National Convention.

“It’s true! I’m speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee #MAGA,” Rose shared Monday night on X, formerly known as Twitter, along with a Trump 2024 sign.

With a former reality star at the top of the ticket and a focus on attracting more black voters, it makes sense that the Republican Party would call on Rose, a biracial millennial celebrity who he first hit the front pages of newspapers as Kanye West’s girlfriend from Philadelphia.

“While this convention will be an opportunity to celebrate Republican Party leaders, supporters, industry leaders and pop culture icons, the real stars of the convention will be ordinary Americans.” campaign representatives wrote in an email about the convention, which will be held July 15-18.

Rose and the RNC did not immediately respond to The Inquirer’s request for comment, and the calendar on the convention website does not yet mention the star’s name. Trump’s team asked for comment I sent Newsweek a link to Rose’s announcement on social media.

From Calling Donald Trump an Idiot to Speaking at His Convention

It is not yet known where or when Rose will deliver her speech at the convention, but she has made no secret of her support for Trump in recent months.

In May, she officially expressed her support on social media, posting a photo on Instagram with Trump and former first lady Melania Trump. Rose has since used her social media platform to further promote a pro-Trump agenda, commenting about President Joe Biden’s impoverished debate performance and sharing content from an account called “unwokeism” on his Instagram story.

Rose, however, was not always a staunch supporter of the former president.

In an interview for “Cut” from August 2016, Rose was asked about Trump’s comment that then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton had received endorsements only from “unhot” celebrities. “He’s just such an idiot. He’s so weird. I really hope he doesn’t become president,” Rose responded.

Eight years later, Rose is speaking at the convention where Trump will likely be declared the official Republican Party presidential candidate for the third time.
