Ron Johnson ditches unity speech after teleprompter loads his old speech

Published



Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said the teleprompter malfunctioned during his speech at the Republican National Convention, causing the senator to ditch his new speech focused on “unity” and deliver the old one attacking Democratic policies.

In the wake of the attempted assassination against former President Donald Trump, Trump told the Washington Examiner that he was going to reframe his speech to focus on “unity.” Johnson said he did the same, but he was unable to deliver it because the teleprompter put up his speech written before the assassination attempt.
