The third night of the Democratic National Convention did not disappoint when it came to emotional moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a charged plea to bring home Israeli hostages to a tearful response to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz\u2019s speech, the night was filled with headline-grabbing moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the five most memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israeli American hostage\u2019s parents deliver emotional plea
The parents of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin took the stage at the beginning of the night to plea for the return of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas and the end of the humanitarian crisis caused by the Israel-Hamas War in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin received a warm welcome from the audience, with the crowd chanting \u201cbring them home!\u201d at one point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an emotional response to the chants, Goldberg-Polin closed her eyes and put her hand on heart. Goldberg-Polin wore a piece of tape with 320 written on it, marking the number of days her son has been held hostage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hersh Goldberg-Polin was abducted by Hamas militants on Oct. 7, 2023 while attending the Nova music festival in Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was 320 days ago. Since then, we live on another planet,\u201d Rachel Goldberg-Polin said. \u201cAnyone who is a parent or has had a parent can try to imagine the anguish and misery that John and I and all the hostage families are enduring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Israel-Hamas War loomed over the convention throughout the evening. The DNC\u2019s uncommitted delegates held a press conference revealing that the DNC rejected a request for a Palestinian speaker at the convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinton forgoes teleprompter
Clinton strayed from the teleprompter during his remarks in an unsurprising move from the former president, who has a history of going off script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier on Wednesday, reports surfaced that Clinton scrapped his original speech earlier this week after watching the first night of the convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his remarks, Clinton joked that Harris, who worked at McDonalds in college, has spent more time in the fast food chain than he has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be so happy when she actually enters the White House as president, because she will break my record as the president who spent the most time at McDonald\u2019s,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also made fun of Trump, saying he talks about himself too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat does her opponent do with his voice.? He mostly talks about himself. The next time you hear him don\u2019t count the lies, count the I\u2019s,\u201d Clinton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis vendettas, his vengeances, his complaints, his conspiracies. He\u2019s like one of those tenors opening up before he walks out on stage\u2026 trying to get his lungs opening by saying, me, me, me, me,\u201d the former president added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Kamala Harris is president, every day will begin with you, you, you, you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oprah jabs at Vance over childless cat ladies
Oprah Winfrey slammed Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance over a past comment he made about the country being run by \u201cchildless cat ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen a house is on fire, we don\u2019t ask about the homeowner\u2019s race or religion. We don\u2019t wonder who their partner is or how they voted. No,\u201d Winfrey said. \u201cWe just try to do the best we can to save them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the place \u201chappens to belong to a childless cat lady,\u201d Winfrey said, \u201cwell, we try to get that cat out, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winfrey endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her remarks, saying that \u201cdecenecy and respect\u201d are on the ballot in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCommon sense tells you that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can give us decency and respect,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet us choose loyalty to the Constitution over loyalty to any individual because that\u2019s the best of America. And let us choose optimism over cynicism and let us include inclusion over retribution,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video played at convention shows footage of Jan. 6 violence at Capitol
A video played at the convention showed disturbing footage of the violence that took place during the Jan, 6 attacks on the Capitol. The footage also included recordings of Trump encouraging protesters during his rally that took place prior to the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of speakers, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), referenced Trump\u2019s denial of the 2020 election results and the subsequent attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJan. 6 was a perilous moment for our democracy,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cNever before had a president of the United States so brazenly assaulted the bedrock of our democracy, so gleefully embraced political violence, so willfully betrayed his oath of office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet us not forget who assaulted our democracy on Jan. 6,\u201d she continued. \u201cHe did!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gus Walz sobs throughout father\u2019s speech
Gus Walz was visibly emotional throughout his father\u2019s address to the convention, continuously sobbing while sitting with his mother Gwen Walz and sister Hope Walz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The younger Walz was sobbing as he took the stage to deliver his speech and as the governor gave his family a shoutout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHope, Gus, and Gwen: you are my entire world and I love you,\u201d the governor said, prompting a still tearful Gus Walz to stand up and point at his dad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
