President Donald Trump addressed the annual Values Voter Summit today, becoming the first sitting president to speak at the conservative conference.

Trump has previously twice spoken at the event, which is being held in Washington, D.C. today: in 2015 as a presidential candidate and in 2016 as the GOP presidential nominee. The event is hosted by the Family Research Council and began in 2006.

"After eight years enduring the Obama administration's hostility toward everything from religious liberty to the unborn, values voters were eager to see President Trump accelerate the undoing of Obama's policies," FRC president Tony Perkins said in a column for Breitbart.
