Mr Trump's nomination has been a primary source of conflict within the party, with some like Mr Cruz questioning his conservative principles. The chairman of the Hillary for America campaign, John Podesta, attacked Mr Trump's speech as divisive. An employee of the Trump Organisation later apologised and admitted her role in writing Melania Trump's speech. In a departure from Republican orthodoxy, Mr Trump took up the theme of acceptance of LGBT rights, framing it in terms of American values. The moment sparked outrage among crowd members, who began booing Mr Cruz and chanting, "Endorse Trump!"
