Sean Spicer: GOP Convention a ‘National Security Event’

SPICER: "Well, I think the one big difference is that this event, both the Republican and Democratic national conventions, for the first time ever are national security events, which means they are designated by the federal government as being a priority for the United States Secret Service as the lead agency. So that has allowed them to plan for months, if not years, coordinate among 73 federal, state and local law enforcement entities to make sure that this is the safest place on earth. So while people are going to come here and to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention, and express themselves as they can and should under our Constitution, they're going to make sure that it's the safest place on earth for the guests, the attendees, the delegates and the media."
