Mike Johnson's Brain Shuts Down After His Teleprompter Malfunctions

Two weeks ago, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson made fun of President Biden saying that he can't function if he doesn't have a teleprompter. On Monday at the Republican Convention, Johnson's teleprompter stopped working and he immediately clammed up, stopped talking, and awkwardly left the stage because he couldn't think of anything to say. This is a textbook case of people in glass houses not throwing stones, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Apparently, Biden isn't the only politician who has difficutly speaking without a teleprompter. The entire GOP seems to have that problem.

But, but, but I thought it was Biden who couldn't talk without a teleprompter. The projection from Republikkkans is mind boggling.

The whole “republican” party is just gross

[davidgiles]

How sad and humiliating for the leader of the worst congress in history.

[JerelynJones]

From the guy who makes fun of Biden? What a loser.

[bernadymukenga]

Oh, he is too young to depend on teleprompter ! Shame
Vote Joe Biden 100%

[Melrose]

He must be in cognitive decline. Fair game to ridicule

[jumperpoint]

Just because Johnson throws shade at Biden doesn't mean he's all that bright. Lots of idiots do it every day.

This RNC is the worst three episodes of America's got talent I've ever seen.

Mike Johnson has clearly revealed his absolute inability to function without teleprompter aid. He appears to be a helpless individual.

So I guess Mike Johnson suffered a brain fart on national TV. What a pathetic hypocrite.

[mitchellsouphasith]

How embarrassing of him to say Biden can’t speak without teleprompters.

Pro tip: When you accuse an opponent of any errors they have done, your ONE JOB: DON'T DO THE SAME THING!

[saneasthenextguy]

Mike wasn't elected speaker for his brain.

[MichaelSwirzewski]

A man who can't speak if his teleprompter shuts down raises serious concerns about his mental fitness to lead. I think I've seen somebody say that exact thing somewhere not too long ago.

[alyxjshaw]

So he can't even say the guy's name?! You'd think he would at least know the man's name.

[Twitchy_McExorcism]

If we're still talking about people being too old for their jobs, Johnson is only 52 years old. At this rate, he'll be in permanent McConnell mode by the time he's 60.

[fredrickmillstead]

Well, maybe he should not criticize others if he can't speak without one.

[Sparkbomber]

Teleprompters are a tool. They are not intended to be a crutch.

[marymcsweeny]

He didn't know the name of the Attorney General? He couldn't adlib when the teleprompter failed? And he talks about Biden?
