Democrats Reject GOP Attempt to Say Pledge of Allegiance at Judiciary Meetings
By Hemant Mehta
February 5, 2021

This was hardly the biggest political news story yesterday, but during a meeting of the House Judiciary Committee, conspiracy theorist, Trump supporter, and 1/6 truther Rep. Matt Gaetz suggested opening every meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance.

It’s a pointless suggestion. Why waste time reciting a blatantly Christian poem that falsely suggests we have “liberty and justice for all” and that we’re a nation “under God”?

Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler, who chairs the Committee, thankfully shot down the suggestion, telling Gaetz they didn’t need to say the Pledge because the House (as a whole) already said it at the start of their business days.

Gaetz will do anything to get a little free press in the Far Right seditionist news outlets.

They’d have allowed it if it was the Chinese anthem or pledge.

Do you actually ever hear yourself? Never mind, not possible.....

With very little effort, Jester, you can be truly dumb.

@yvilletom Prove me wrong

@CourtJester I also don’t try to prove theists wrong.

@yvilletom didn’t expect you could.
