Despite calls for softer political rhetoric in the wake of Donald Trumps attempted assassination over the weekend, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) did not hold back when he spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday, slamming Democratic policies as a clear and present danger to America.
They are the party of open borders, reckless spending, weaponized government, and weakness on the world stage, Johnson said as he tore into the Democrats, adding that the partys fringe agenda includes biological males competing against girls and the sexualization and indoctrination of our children. Shortly after he spoke, however, Johnson incredibly claimed hed not intended to deliver the speech at all.
Asked by PBS News host Amna Nawaz about why he had said Democratic policies are a clear and present danger to America, Johnson said: That speech was written last week. He added that they literally loaded the wrong speech into the teleprompter.
When pressed if he had intended to make the clear and present danger claim, Johnson indicated that he had not. I had taken that out, OK? he answered. Instead, he claimed hed wanted to urge America to heed President Trumps call to unite, to be strong, to be determinedwe must heal and unify this nation. I didnt know how to get that in without screwing up the teleprompter, Johnson said in his defense, adding he was not happy with that.

That was done by design and on purpose. He didn't have to use the teleprompter. A couple sheets of paper would have been just fine.
When they show you who they are, believe them the first time.
