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.”
