Gaetz Virtue-Signals On Pledge Of Allegiance [VIDEO]

February 5, 2021 Republicans, Trump cultists

House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler denied Rep. Matt Gaetz’s request to begin each meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance saying the committee is “covered” as the House already begins each day with it.

Gaetz, R-Fla., asked that “in the spirit of national unity and pride,” the Judiciary Committee begin each meeting with the Pledge. Gaetz, who’s made a name for himself as a spirited Trump loyalist, said that in these divided times, it would signal a “great, unifying patriotic moment.”

“It’s unnecessary,” Nadler shot back. “The House begins every day with the Pledge of Allegiance, we’re covered by that.”

I believe this is what some might call “virtue-signalling”. https://t.co/LAzs7CnC2S

The entire house says the pledge at the start of each day. Schools say it a the start of each day. They do not recite it again during 3rd period.

Here goes Matt’s usual performative hijinx to outrage his base.

Little does his ill-informed base know, the pledge is recited every day in the House, therefore it is unnecessary in Committee.

He won’t tell them that bc he’s doing this for attention.

Focusing on the important stuff, thank you Matt.
