Despite calls for softer political rhetoric in the wake of Donald Trump’s 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 party’s “fringe agenda includes biological males competing against girls and the sexualization and indoctrination of our children.” Shortly after he spoke, however, Johnson incredibly claimed he’d 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.
