EXCERPT:
MADDOW: "Now, interestingly, Amna Nawaz, 'PBS NewsHour' anchor, she says that she asked Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson about the tone of his remarks. At one other point in his speech he said that Democratic policies are 'clear and present danger to the country.' She asked him about saying that about Democrats while he’s been otherwise calling for unity, and his response was that his speech that he just delivered at the RNC was not the speech he meant to give. It was all a big misunderstanding. The teleprompter loaded the old version, the new one called for unity, but they didn’t put that went in there, so he just gave the old one."
REID: "And he couldn’t ad lib some unity?"
(Laughter)
WALLACE: "I mean, first of all — "
REID:" You couldn't do a little ad-libbing of unity?"
MADDOW: "Amna is a fantastic reporter, I absolutely believe this is real, and I cannot believe this is real."
