JLD, Cedric Richmond Jr. shine on social media star on DNC 2020′s last night
Julia Louis-Dreyfus added some levity to the final night of the Democratic National Convention. And some people are already asking when Cedric Richmond, Jr., will be old enough to run for president.
Both starred on social media on Thursday night, as the slickly produced, all-virtual convention came to a close with Joe Biden’s acceptance speech.
“If we all vote, there is nothing Facebook, Fox News, and Vladimir Putin can do to stop us,” was one of Louis-Dreyfus’ early lines. She also joked a fifth night had been added to the convention schedule “where we will just play Michelle Obama’s speech on a loop.”
Here are some other zingers Louis-Dreyfus, as host of the convention’s final night, delivered:
- “Text VOTE to 30330. 30330 — that would be the President’s golf score if he didn’t cheat.”
Best moderator by far! #JuliaLouisDreyfus

- “Personally, I plan to follow the example of six current cabinet members, Vice President Pence, and President Trump himself, and vote by mail.”
#julialouisdreyfus is killing it. #DemConvention2020

- “Joe Biden not only knows how to read, but also, he reads everything.”

"When Donald Trump spoke at his inauguration about 'American Carnage' I assumed that was something he was against – not a campaign promise."#DemocraticConvention
- “Joe Biden goes to church so regularly that he doesn’t even need tear gas and a bunch of federalized troops to get him get there.”
Louis-Dreyfus was the star of social media as the convention got underway, but not everyone was a fan of her approach.
Is it just me, or is #JuliaLouisDreyfus just a little off key?

#DemConvention #JuliaLouisDreyfus needs to listen to #MichelleObama 's speech about going high. Her comments are inappropriate

Is @CedricRichmond's son - Cedric Richmond Jr. - now the youngest person to address a Democratic National Convention? Need a historian on this.
