Senator Ron Johnson delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday night, where he criticized Democratic policies as a 'clear and present danger to the country.' The Wisconsin senator's remarks included statements about Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden, accusing them of making lives less safe and more expensive.
Johnson's spokesperson confirmed that the senator had inadvertently delivered an old version of his speech that had been loaded into the teleprompter by mistake, instead of the new version that called for unity in the wake of recent events.
During his address to Republican delegates, Johnson highlighted concerns about border security, government spending, and gender policies, stating that the current Democrat agenda poses a threat to America's institutions, values, and people.
While expressing his pleasure at former President Donald Trump's decision to adjust his convention speech to convey a unifying message, Johnson emphasized the importance of continuing to draw contrasts with political rivals. He acknowledged that differences between parties are fair game and stressed the need to address the impact of Democratic policies on the nation.
Despite the criticisms, Johnson also acknowledged that the majority of Democrats love the country, just like Republicans, although they may have differing visions and policies. He emphasized that while there are differences, both parties share a common love for the United States.
