Several former Republican leaders are slated to speak on the first night of this years Democratic National Convention, including former U.S. New York Rep. Susan Molinari, who once spoke at the Republican National Convention, and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a frequent Trump critic who ran for president in 2016.
Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman and former Hewlett Packard CEO Meg Whitman are also on the list of GOP speakers expected to give remarks virtually on Monday night.
Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa told the Yahoo News podcast Skullduggery on Monday that the theme of the convention is uniting America.
We believe that its important that we make sure were including everyone and not excluding everyone, Hinojosa told Yahoo News. We understand that regardless of who you voted for in 2016, or whether you voted in a Democratic primary, or whether you have never voted all, its important to bring everybody together. Thats the only way we win.
Whitman, the first Republican speaker listed in the Democrats announcement, was New Jerseys governor from 1994 to 2001 and served as the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under President George W. Bush.
Molinari, who served in Congress in the 1990s and was a top GOP leader, was the keynote speaker at the Republican convention in 1996. She slammed then-President Bill Clintons leadership during her speech, telling the crowd that his promises have the life span of a Big Mac on Air Force One.
The former Google lobbyist also donated money to a nonprofit handling President Trumps transition in 2017, the Center for Public Integrity reported.
When asked how the DNC landed Molinari, Hinojosa said people are frustrated with Donald Trump right now.

That was SMOKIN’ great!
What he revealed about his true lefty compass was great info to GOP voters who dropped him like like the sniveling schemer that he is.
Embarrassed (deservedly so) , he immediately chose to settle a score with GOP primary voters, and declined to attend the GOP convention (held in his own state).
All of Trump's (pre-chinese-virus) successes must have really eaten away at Kasich, the very model of the modern poseur RINO.
They haven’t threatened him with the pictures yet ... just wait he’ll go down quicker than a two bit whore once they flash the pictures.
This dem convention looks to be shaping up as a modern Love Boat or Fantasy Island, where the has-beens get their final chance for attention and beer money.
The only thing missing is Epstein.
Kick their deep state ass, President Donald Trump!
The Null/Void 2020 Convention.
The only surprise there for me is Molinari and don’t think any of these “Republicans” will make a bit of difference in the end, especially with the real lefties, they have no idea who these old people are and how they relate to whats going on in the streets.
These three are not Republicans no matter what they call themselves.
Trump is pretty popular on Staten Island, Sue Molinari, you moron.
94-96 percent approval in the GOP and this bunch of misfits show up.
Talk about your Conga Line of freaks!!
Go right ahead John. Prove what a big govt crackpot you are.
He is also one of MANY DC perverts!!! He and Gary Condit used to “party” together.....
LMAO! The Dem idiots are gonna use the Postmans son, to promote their mail in voter fraud.
Will Romney be speaking?
Why don’t they just change parties... I mean THEN, someone could respect them...
I don’t know WHO, but maybe someone would.
