On Sept. 21, Steve Guest, rapid response director for the Republic National Committee, posted on Twitter an eight-second Trump campaign clip of a speech by Joe Biden with the comment, "Joe Biden completely botches the Pledge of Allegiance." The clip was viewed more than 1.5 million times and generated comments regarding Biden's mental state. Some who shared the quick clip claimed Biden made a gaffe, or "botched" the pledge, including Dinesh D'Souza, The Federalist, PJ Media and Fox News' Sean Hannity. Other posts took a more hesitant approach with the claim, saying it "appears" Biden may have goofed. It was

USA Today lies again.
Joe can't even say the Pledge any more, and they lie to cover for him. If you look at the video, it is obvious that he mangles it.

If Joe could not memorize the POA in the 180 years he's been in office (his claim yesterday), he is unlikely to learn it now that he's suffering from apparent dementia.
Shouldn't the POTUS be required to know the POA?

The most telling thing here is that this story as posted here comes to us via the ultra leftist fake news outlet “Yahoo”. Yahoo stopped allowing comments after their articles about a month or so ago.
Why? - I watched the comment sections being taken over by engage and informed CONSERVATIVE Americans and they couldn’t handle it and stopped it.
Good.

I find fact checkers are usually wrong.

#3: That's what happened to the Los Angeles Times when they first went digital. They had a comment section too at the end of each article. After 6 to 8 months the Los Angeles Times quit using the comment section. Just as you said #3. More informed readers were more critical of the contents of each article.

And I suppose that he never called someone at one of his rallies a “lying dog-faced pony soldier” either.

MSN used to have a comments section.
Every time they would have a left slanted article,
but I repeat myself,
conservative posters, including me,
would rip it to shreds.
They eventually claimed they were stopping the
comments section in order to cover the news better.
It is to laugh!

Didja read this article?!
Some of the most disingenuous, furious tap dancing on record.
Whoever the hell Doug Stanglin is, what a miserable, insulting orifice he is.
Let me be the one to take the bullet, do not read this infuriating crap.

After Tuesday, Fact Check: "Did Biden actually blather, mumble, ramble and dither in debate with Trump?" MSM Decision: "False. Our experts find that, although poor lighting, mic failures, misheard questions, and weather conditions sometimes made it appear that Biden had dementia, his revised and edited answers look great on paper, Trump was orange, and Biden won the debate."

A lie-beral that is forced to recite the pledge of allegiance (POA) finds it as horrible to them as a Christian being forced to say "hail Satan"!!!!
I'm sure the few words of the POA that Creepy Uncle Joe Biden remembered just burned in his mouth like acid. No wonder he cut it short!!!

It has become quite obvious that these days, any person or group who calls themselves "Fact Checkers" are not interested in presenting the truth, but are "checking" the facts:
as in the second definition of verb (used with object):
2: to restrain; hold in restraint or control.

Before the debate Trump should ask Biden to join him in reciting the pledge.

I don't recall seeing the word flag in there. I think there's something in there about a flag. Ay least there was when I recited it from memory at my naturalization ceremony last year. And yes I expect and in fact DEMAND that the president be able to recite the pledge without a teleprompter and let's see him pass the same civics test we legal immigrants have to pass. It's not that hard.

With 200,000,000 dead Americans, does it matter anymore?

Fact Check = Media covering Biden's butt when he screws up. He started to recite the pledge but quickly gave up. If that was his intention what does ''for real'' mean at the end?
