Heh. Fake Elector enabler Ron Johnson blames teleprompter for partisan remarks.
https://www.rawstory.com/ron-johnson-2668752170/Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) proclaimed at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday that Democrats are a "clear and present danger to the country" — an odd departure from the GOP's own message, following former President Donald Trump's near assassination on Saturday, demanding that Democrats stop calling Trump a danger to the country.
Johnson apparently realized the hypocrisy was a bit too much to ignore, because he had an explanation when PBS News Hour's Amna Nawaz asked him about it: it was the teleprompter's fault.
"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," wrote Nawaz on X.
Teleprompter just loaded up the partisan version all by its little self, huh? Kind of like the fake elector votes got into your hot little hands on Jan 6, Ron?
How long before we just blame problematic speeches on AI?

Back then, they didn't have zip codes and there were fewer streets so most of the roads had just short names. Besides, they didn't believe back then to name streets after the trees they cut down.
