Actor and model Antonio Sabato Jr. took the stage at the Republican National Convention Monday night in support of presumptive party nominee Donald Trump, whom the actor immediately predicted would defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in November’s general election.
“I know I’m not your typical convention speaker. You might be wondering why I chose to speak,” the 44-year-old soap star and Calvin Klein model began his brief speech.
“The truth is, I’ve never considered myself very political, or spoken out politically before,” he went on. “But my belief in this country, my faith in Jesus Christ, have compelled me to speak now.”
“I am concerned about our country’s future. I’m concerned about my children’s future. And I believe we need Donald Trump, who shares my beliefs, and my faith, to get this country back on track, ” an enthusiastic Sabato said.
