Whoever directed the magnificent payoff to this Republican delegate’s ‘unhinged’ speech, take the rest of the week off
If you only watch one speaker at the Republican national convention in Milwaukee, make it this one.
No, it’s not Donald Trump, and no, it’s nothing to do with the comedy bandage on his ear.
It’s West Virginia Republican, Governor Jim Justice (what a name!) warning the convention what will happen if Trump doesn’t win the election. And when we say watch to the end, we really do mean it.

Whoever was responsible for that, take the rest of the week, the month – hell, the rest of the year off. And have a pay rise, obviously.
And here is just a little bit of the love and admiration and share joy it prompted all over Twitter.

You can’t write comedy like this. 15 seconds of nonsense and then BAM the wide shot takes your breath away. 10/10. https://t.co/EbZMoktrNj

no matter how many times you see this shared before you watch it, and how much enthusiasm people have for the editing, you will not be prepared for the cut at the end https://t.co/9WE6wreeHw

This cut to wide should be preserved and studied at film schools around the nation. Masterful visual storytelling. No notes. https://t.co/6oSB2BzUBn
