You missed the incredible third angle where Matt Gaetz gets immediately called out for being an asshole, which is why he turns around. It's gold!

[Taco_God]

The irony of Hannity calling out Biden for using a teleprompter while reading off a teleprompter is palpable.

[fmhjvtc]

he was introducing the an attorney general and couldn’t remember the name without the teleprompter 😂😂😂

[hesgabe]

Bird Bane making it into the actual show is just ridiculous😂

[wesleycolvin]

Considering how loudly they all sing the praises of their fearless Orange Grift Weasel, it's pretty easy to forget that these people despise each other. Often more loudly.

[robguttridge]

Beautiful call-out of Mike Johnson's reliance on teleprompters. Gaetz is beneath contempt.

[dridadbunkerphd]

Kellyanne talks about teleprompters while reading cue cards. Priceless!

[luketallman]

I think it was incredibly negligent of Gov. Justice to bring Babydog to the RNC with him. Kristi Noem may still be there.

[SpaceForceCommander]

Who brings a dog to the same room as Kristi Noem? (Luckily, there was no gravel pit nearby.)

[danielwgk]

You missed that the big guy behind Gaetz said "Shut Up Gaetz" to which he replied "who are you?" The man responded with "it doesnt matter who i am, you're an asshole."

[krudmonger]

The teleprompter-shaming is such a weird flex. Everyone I know uses notes for speeches, or consults cards, etc., I mean this is a speech, not a Broadway play.

[tammywilliams]

Hate how Hannity is being so disrespectful by calling the President "Joe"

[dawns]

Baby Dog is neglected….no exercise and over fed!

[Rhiannon]

It's called " Karma" Mike Johnson...hypocrite..

[holizmoyombo]

"become totally unhinged?" Sir, you"re on stage with a couch for your dog named Baby.

[stephen-wahl]

God with Mike Johnson embarrassing himself so badly in a way he derides and despises— I mean I could be wrong but— it almost makes me think Republicans are hypocrites or something. 😂

[funkyfreshbeats]

You can hear someone try to tell mike johnson he didn't need the teleprompter. Clearly he was wrong

[BiteyTheWombat]

Hannity is literally reading from a teleprompter. You can't make this stuff up. 😂

[jenny]

Does anyone else think Mike Johnson looks like Elf on a Shelf?

[TiggerToo]

The juxtaposition of the 1980's singer Buster Poindexter and Matt Gaetz is PURE GENIUS!
