A sample of lefty Twitter reaction:
This is un f’n believable. The most anti-immigrant President in history staging a naturalization ceremony in the WH, with military in uniform, FOR A POLITICAL CONVENTION. infuriating.

A pardon. A naturalization ceremony. A military honor guard. The marine band. A first lady's speech.
They are literally abusing every lever of executive power for political purposes tonight to promote Trump's #RNC2020.
Unprecedented blurring of the lines in modern politics.

I'm so thankful for @JoyAnnReid hitting the naturalization ceremony thing.
I like to think that I cannot be surprised by the depravity of these people, but that ceremony got me. It was honestly one of the lowest thing I've even seen in American politics.

And these were some of the more measured comments. Trump achieves troll-level “Galactic Mega-God.”
