Rose, a model and reality TV star, slammed "left-wing propaganda" in her speech, saying that "the media has lied to us about Donald Trump."
"I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're Black, white, gay or straight, it's all love," Rose said. "And that's when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong. So, I let go of my fear of judgment, of being misunderstood, of getting attacked by the left, and I put the red hat on too."
