MAGA Republican Is Dragged for Forgetting Pledge of Allegiance in Cringe-Worthy Video

Politicians often exhibit a tendency toward amnesia, particularly regarding their campaign declarations. Absent a teleprompter, they risk fumbling through speeches—yet forgetting the Pledge of Allegiance?Republican legislators have traditionally advocated for K-12 students in public schools to recite the Pledge. It’s a childhood rite of passage for many Americans.Thus, it was particularly odd when MAGA New York Representative Nicole Malliotakis couldn't recall the pledge during a recent Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute event.Exhibiting a lapse, Malliotakis stumbled over the words, eventually abandoning her attempt when faced with “with liberty and justice for all.”Social media rapidly reacted.“Imagine if a Democrat did this? It would dominate Fox News for a week!” remarked Dave Strong on X.Comments flooded in on TikTok, including a note on her forgetfulness regarding justice. According to The Hill, while 47 states require the Pledge in schools, exemptions exist, based on a 1943 Supreme Court ruling allowing some leeway. (Photo: Reddit video screenshot/r/nyc)
