President Donald Trump looked to appeal to evangelical Christians, suburban mothers and Midwest voters as he falsely claimed Democrats are attacking their values — even going so far as to remove
President Donald Trump on Saturday morning looked to appeal to evangelical Christians, suburban mothers and Midwest voters as he falsely claimed Democrats are attacking their values — even going so far as to remove “God” from the Pledge of Allegiance. Trump broadened the debunked claim Saturday that Democratic National Convention organizers removed the word “God” from the Pledge of Allegiance. Although the line was omitted from some small DNC meetings, the words “under God” were included in several of the convention’s prime-time TV recitations of the pledge — including one version said by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s grandchildren. The omission of “under God” was not included in any official DNC guidelines. But Trump, in a direct fear mongering appeal to evangelical voters, tweeted Saturday that the omission from individual caucus meetings is a sign of what’s to come for Americans.
