4:44Now PlayingDonald Trump, like many Republicans, loves to make fun of politicians for using teleprompters. Mr. Trump, however, recently used a teleprompter. Some Republicans are rushing to his defense. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (ThinkTank), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Teleprompter jokes are as reliable a staple of conservative comedy as fart jokes are to class clowns.
Conservatives mock President Barack Obama’s reliance on teleprompters pretty much any time they gather in public — but what happens when Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, strays from his usual off-the-cuff insults to read a speech?
“Fox & Friends,” naturally, invited a black conservative to explain.
“I thought the speech was absolutely right-on and spot-on, and it set exactly the tone he needs to set,” said Herman Cain, a 2012 Republican presidential candidate. “Now, a lot of people are going to make a big deal out of the fact that he used a teleprompter so he could stay on message — and he did a good job.”
Cain, who peppered his own campaign speeches with teleprompter jokes, established a guideline for acceptable use of the device.
“He wouldn’t have read the information on the teleprompter if he didn’t agree with it,” Cain said.”*
