‘Resist Trump’ Meeting Refuses to Recite Pledge of Allegiance
2017-01-17
[BREITBART] SANTA MONICA -- Left-wing organizers refused a request to recite the Pledge of Allegiance during a "Resist Trump" meeting on Sunday sponsored by MoveOn.org
...a Democratic Party front organization funded by George Soros founded in the wake of the Clinton impeachment. It provides money, muscle, and astroturf as required...
to plan protests against the President-elect.

The pledge was rejected because it was "not on the agenda."
And never will be...
Karen Siegemund, chair of the American Freedom Alliance, stood up and asked if the pledge could be recited before the discussions began. "Perhaps we have a veteran in the room who would be happy to lead us to the Pledge of Allegiance?" Siegemund asked.

Voices could be heard saying, "Oh God" and "no" from various parts of the room.

A man named Gene, who was leading the meeting, said, "I’m sorry, but just to keep this meeting moving. I, personally, agree with you. I’m a recovering Republican and I agree with you. However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
I’m going to rule that motion out of order simply because it’s not on the agenda."

The meeting continued normally after that and Siegemund exited the Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, where the MoveOn.org-sponsored event was held.

Sunday’s meeting was held for volunteers who oppose President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
to meet and organize ways to "resist" him and his incoming administration.

Key topics of discussion were immigration, Republican efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare
... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
), and planning upcoming rallies.

Some of the women in attendance were also planning to fly to D.C. to attend the Women’s March on Washington rally the day after Trump is sworn in as America’s 45th president. Almost one million people are expected to attend Trump’s inauguration on the National Mall and security is going to be amplified.

The march is set to be one of America’s largest protests. Other rallies are also planned to coincide with the Women’s March, including one known as the "Pussyhats" march. Women will reportedly be wearing knitted, pink hats that have pussycat ears on them during the protests.

A flier from the event points out, "We love the clever wordplay of ’pussyhat and ’pussycat,’ but yes, ’pussy’ is also a derogatory term for female genitalia. We choose this loaded word for our project because we want to reclaim the term as a means of empowerment."

#5  I am going to take a day off from work to attend the March for Life. Having Kellyanne Conway speak is just icing on the cake.

If the MSM report on the March for Life at all, they always concentrate on the hundreds of pro-abortion counter protestors rather than the hundreds of thousands marchers.

#4  Gee whiz, articles like this make me feel bad for not protesting all those years of the soon-to-be previous President.

But I had (and have) a job, and a family, and a life. And Rantburg.

#3  The 44th annual anti-abortion March for Life will take place on January 27th. A certain Kellyanne Conway will be speaking, so it may get more press attention than the usual blackout.

#1  "One of the largest" protests? They are talking about maybe 180-200K. The March For Life, which has been going on for 40+ years drew over 400,000 and the press still ignores it while overpublicizing this crap. And they wonder why Trump won.
