Video: Democrats OPPOSE Amendment To Recite Pledge Of Allegiance; Label Republicans ‘Insurrectionists’

Claim “insurrectionist” Republicans shouldn’t be able to lead the Pledge

Several Democrats took objection Wednesday to an amendment that would see the Pledge of Allegiance recited before House Judiciary Committee meetings, with one Rep. charging that ‘insurrectionist’ Republicans shouldn’t be able to lead the Pledge.

The amendment was introduced by Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida, who previously called for the Judiciary Committee to open with the pledge two years ago.

As he did then, New York Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler opposed the move, arguing that it is unnecessary.

“I don’t know why we should pledge allegiance twice in the same day to show how patriotic we are,” Nadler said, claiming that committee members already pledge allegiance when they arrive at the building.

Nadler added “I don’t think this is the most important amendment in the world.”

Democrat Rep. Deborah Ross cited a Supreme Court ruling that says officials cannot force citizens to say the pledge.

Other Democrats then used Gaetz’s proposal to further their obsessive ranting about the events of January 6th 2021.

Hank Johnson of Georgia stated “I regret the fact that many members of this committee voted against certifying the election results based on the ‘big lie,’ and they have continued to promote the ‘big lie’ and undermine public confidence in our government.”

Johnson then declared that it is “ironic” that Republicans who “supported the insurrection” now want to force Democrats to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States.

Rhode Island Democrat David Cicilline also used the moment to dredge up the Capitol incident, claiming that he would support Gaetz’s amendment if it contained a provision that would restrict “anyone who supported insurrection” from leading the pledge.

Gaetz fired back, noting that if Cicilline’s definition of “insurrectionist” is anyone who objected to electors, “then there would be many Democrats on the committee that wouldn’t be eligible to lead the pledge.”

Gaetz tweeted footage of the discussion, asking “Why does patriotism make Democrats so heated?”

Watch:

Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a former Democrat who switched parties in 2019, said he was “almost speechless,” that members would object to taking a minute to affirm their allegiance to the country.

“Come on, this can’t be real. I can’t believe we’re having this debate,” Van Drew said.

Republican Chip Roy of Texas, slammed the Democrats for opposing basic patriotic principles, also citing a recent proposal to condemn socialism, which was opposed by some Democrats.

“And that is the state of your Democratic Party today,” Roy asserted.

Here is the entire discussion:

Cicilline’s amendment was voted down, while Gaetz’s amendment was approved without opposition, with a vote of 39-0.

    Video: Rand Paul Grills Blinken On Stonewalling Of COVID Origin Investigation

    “You won’t help us investigate this.”

    Senator Rand Paul grilled Secretary of State Antony Blinken Wednesday, accusing the State Department of engaging in a lack of transparency when it comes to providing documents related to the ongoing probe of the origins of COVID.

    Paul asked Blinken why documents related to funding of coronavirus research have not been provided to him despite repeated requests.

    The Senator told Blinken that he had requested the material “on September 12th and November 7th of last year.”

    “My question is, what’s the State Department hiding?” Paul asked, adding “Why won’t you give these records to the American people?”

    “There’s a difference between can and may,” Paul continued, adding “You won’t do it, but you can do it.”

    Blinken responded “My understanding is that our teams have been working to find an accommodation,” adding he hopes to “find a way forward that answers your concerns so that you get the information that you’re looking for.”

    “We’re talking about unclassified material,” Paul shot back, adding “most of this is unclassified. And so we just had a unanimous vote in the Senate and in the House and President Biden just signed a bill saying he’s going to declassify stuff. But if you declassify it and you still hide it from the American people, that’s a problem.”

    The Senator continued, “We spend all of this time lambasting authoritarians for lack of transparency, we have these silly networks on TV that are aligned with the Democrat Party saying democracy is under attack. Well, do you think transparency has something to do with democracy? You’re refusing to give records on research, money that went for research.”

    “We want to read the research grant proposals. We want to read what the people in Wuhan sent back to the State Department saying they did. Which viruses did they create?” Paul further urged.

    “And yet you won’t help us investigate this. You refuse and it makes — it is reminiscent of the countries we criticize for lack of transparency. And yet you sit there and say you’re still going to continue to refuse,” Paul asserted.

    Blinken tried to squirm out of the grilling by saying he doesn’t have the expertise to comment, prompting Paul to respond “We don’t want to hear your spin.”

    “We can’t just accept your spin on it because people — there may be self-interested the people who funded the program. We’re just asking to look at the data. But so far it has been no. We’ve had a few phone calls, but we don’t want your spin on it. We want to look at the documents ourselves,” Paul emphasised.

    Video: MSNBC Panel Says That Criticising George Soros In Any Way Is “DANGEROUS”

    “It definitely feels like a dog whistle that is dangerous.”

    During a discussion on the potential Trump indictment, an MSNBC panel claimed that Trump supporters, and anyone else for that matter, are “dangerous” for criticising George Soros.

    Perpetual race baiting grifter Joy Reid turned to former CIA officer Tracy Walder, and said “The fact that they keep throwing George Soros’ name, we’ve talked a lot in our show meetings, is it definitely feels like a dog whistle that is dangerous.”

    Walder replied, “It absolutely feels like a dog whistle that’s dangerous.”

    She continued, “Look, most of these groups, the Oath Keepers, Boogaloo Boys, Proud Boys, they all subscribe to what you are all referring to as the great replacement theory.”

    “This is why we see these spikes in racism and anti-semitism,” and “they are ascribing to this belief and it’s stoking this division,” Walder added. 

    She then suggested that “Trump has for multiple years now called for a civil war.”

    There were no actual facts provided as to why criticising George Soros’ manipulation of U.S. politics and culture is racist.

    Watch:

    Of course, Joy Reid and MSNBC are going to propagandise for Soros, given that he pumps millions into Democrat election campaigns, as well as “black-led justice organizations”.

    Is journalist Glenn Greenwald a dangerous racist for pointing out how Soros continually seeks to control the reality narrative?

    Videos: Biden Literally Can’t Talk Anymore

    “I’m having trouble”

    On Tuesday, Joe Biden attempted to string together sentences in English but completely failed again and again.

    Biden attempted to announce the establishment of a new national monument, but he can’t talk:

    It’s like watching someone who is learning English for the first time try to put words together:

    Later, Biden attempted to recite a poem, but he can’t talk.

    He started over in a second attempt, but he can’t talk:

    Biden attempted to crack a joke while giving Bruce Springsteen a medal, but he can’t talk:

    Biden didn’t even attempt to say Puerto Rican artist Antonio Martorell-Cardona’s full name when slurring this sentence out:

    It’s probably a good thing he can’t talk, because when he does manage a sentence, he comes out with something embarrassing like this:
