'Not in keeping with the unity theme': CNN cuts off RNC speaker after he attacks Biden

CNN interrupted its broadcast of the Republican National Convention Monday after a speaker attacked President Joe Biden despite the Republican Party's promise of a "unity theme."

After airing several minutes of former Yammer CEO David Sack's speech, CNN suddenly cut to host Jake Tapper.

"All right, that's David Sacks, the founder and CEO of Yammer, giving a message focused a lot on foreign policy," Tapper explained. "Some interesting language in that speech: senile, sleepy, demented, a reference to chants of 'eff Joe Biden.'"

"Certainly not in keeping with the unity, American unity theme we were told," the CNN host added.

Earlier in the day, RNC Chair Michael Whatley called for unity from Republicans and the nation.

"We must unite as a party, and we must unite as a nation. We must show the same strength and resilience as President Trump and lead this nation to a greater future," the chairman told delegates assembled at the convention.
