The teleprompter ate my homework
After all of the crocodile-teared Republican pleas for civility and unity Senator Lloyd Christmas delivered an unhinged culture war not-energetic-enough-to-be-a-stemwinder at the RNC. You see, accidents will happen:
NEWS: I asked Wisc @SenRonJohnson about him calling Democratic policies a "clear and present danger to the country" while calling for unity – he says speech he just delivered at RNC was not the one he intended to give, that prompter loaded old version, new one called for unity— amna (@IAmAmnaNawaz) July 16, 2024
To paraphrase Pauline Kael, when deciding whether Ron Johnson or Tommy Tuberville is the dumbest senator I always go with whoever’s spoken most recently.
Biden’s suspension of advertising and measured speech over the weekend were an appropriate reaction in the immediate aftermath. but the campaign is fully on, pious rhetoric coming from Republicans is bullshit, and Democrats shouldn’t be bullied out of campaigning because of the violence on Saturday.
