Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI applaud Rep. Ciclline for making Gaetz look like a pathetic weasel!
In their committee rules meeting today, Gaetz purposed the House Judiciary Committee to start each committee meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and Ciclline went one step further adding that no person who participated or supported the J-6 Insurrection should be allowed to lead the Pledge of Allegiance!
The look on Gaetzs face? Priceless!

at the start of each meeting. In fact, I would like to see that, rather than the pledge for each session of Congress, as well.

Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced an amendment proposing that each meeting of the Oversight Committee begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. But Rep. David Cicilline had an amendment to the amendment up his sleeve for the patriot from Florida. - Aired on 02/01/2023.
