EMBARRASSING: Raskin’s DNC Speech Freezes Amid Teleprompter Failure

As the Democrats like to say these days, the speeches for the DNC were “weird”.

We had the head of a teachers union hopping and screaming.

Then we have Jewish U.S. Rep Jamie Raskin straight up lying about the death toll at the J6 protest.

He then goes on to imply that Republicans are really part of a ‘Banana Republic’.

Then there’s the moment where he freezes mid speech.

Too much reliance on teleprompters can have that effect.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

On the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland delivered a speech that many will remember not for its content but for its cringe-worthy execution.

As he took the stage among a lineup of radical leftists, Raskin’s moment quickly devolved into chaos when his teleprompter failed him, leaving him frozen and fumbling for words.

Raskin began a line intended to criticize Trump: “Someone should have told Donald Trump that the President’s job under Article two of the Constitution…” However, what followed was an awkward and painfully long pause as Raskin struggled to recall the next words.

As he stood there, Raskin awkwardly attempted to regain his composure and stumbled through the rest of the line, “Someone should have told Donald Trump that the president’s job under Article Two of the Constitution is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed.”

“…the President’s job is….”

Then when his prompter is working fine, he’s able to fire off lies with ease:

Rep. Jamie Raskin blatantly lies about January 6th: "Five people died that day."

And then we have the classic obligatory projection remarks.

They can’t not project. It’s to be expected, every time like clockwork.
