"Democrats pressured schools to allow boys to compete in girls sports and use girls locker rooms," she said, referring to transgender activists. "Those are the facts."
With the election of Donald Trump, she said, "people of faith suddenly had a fierce advocate in the White House," noting that he appointed judges who "respect the First Amendment" and withdrew policies that violated conscience rights.
"The Biden-Harris vision leaves no room for people of faith," Lynch said. "Whether you're a baker or florist or a football coach, they will force the choice between being obedient to God or to caesar--because the radical left's God is government power."
One of the more emotional moments of the night was the story of Jon Ponder, a convicted bank robber. While in prison, Ponder turned his life around through a chaplaincy program. Upon release, Ponder founded a nonprofit organization Hope for Prisoners, and befriended the FBI agent who arrested him.
Hope for Prisoners works to assist prisoners with reentry into society, and provides leadership training, financial advice, professional development, and technology training.
"My hope for America is that all people regardless of race, color, class or background will take advantage of the fact that we live in a nation of second chances," said Ponder on Tuesday. Trump called his story "a beautiful testament to the power of redemption."
At the end of the segment, Trump pardoned Ponder for his bank robbery conviction, which is a federal crime. Ponder had previously been granted clemency in Nevada on battery charges.
Also featured on Tuesday night was Nick Sandmann, who, as a student at Covington Catholic High School, was the subject of a media firestorm after an out-of-context clip went viral showing him smiling at a Native American demonstrator in front of the Lincoln Memorial after the March for Life earlier this year. Sandmann spoke on the topics of cancel culture and the need for media accountability and honesty.
