— Trump targets Democrats over Pledge of Allegiance – TAL AXELROD
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/513218-trump-targets-democrats-over-pledge-of-allegiance
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump took to Twitter to accuse Democrats of not uttering the word “God” in the pledge at this week’s Democratic National Convention. While the word was featured in the pledge at the convention every night for each of the four days, some of the speakers did not say it during the Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly and the LGBTQ Caucus meeting, which were not part of the main programming, according to The Associated Press. “The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!” Trump tweeted.)
