Sen. Ron Johnson says he read wrong version of speech at Republican National Convention

Washington — Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said he delivered an earlier version of his speech on the opening night of the Republican National Convention, which was written before the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

During his remarks, Johnson condemned Democrats' policies as a "clear and present danger to America, to our institutions, our values and our people." He accused Democrats of pushing a "fringe agenda," forgetting American families and abandoning the middle class.

"But with President Trump and the Republicans, those forgotten Americans are forgotten no more," the GOP senator said.
