I 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 Gaetz’s 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.

Cicilline to Gaetz: Insurrectionists should be banned from leading the Pledge - All In - MSNBC
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017802003

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.
