Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., proposed an amendment to House Judiciary Committee rules that would ban anyone who had “supported an insurrection” from leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. , objected to the phrasing the amendment used as the two lawmakers argued during a rules meeting.

#Congress #politics #insurrection
149 consecutives need to be removed by 14th amendment
Gaetz such a loser
lol. this would eliminate every democrat for trying to dismantle the 2nd amendment. Including cicilline
A smug smiling – INSURRECTIONIST aided and abetted— those who attacked the capital. APPLY THE 14TH AMMENDMENT.
Gaetz looks butthead from bevis and butthead
Who do you think is spending more time making the next invitation list for a world famous sweet sixteen party?
https://youtube.com/shorts/o9cmj77oNsk?feature=share
That’s all he’s got…HOW ABOUT REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AND PROSECUTED FOR TREASON…HOW ABOUT THAT?💯🏴☠️
Excellent.
BOY! Gaetz sucks!
the gop IS the new NAZI party
Waste of time. Anyone who supported an insurrection should not be in government
He said “overthrow the government”.. A couple hundred idiots with no weapons, only flagpoles were dangerously close to toppling the most powerful government in the World? These liars aren’t idiots. They know definitions of words. They choose to ignore those. Leftards 🤣
Good job David. Thank You.
So I take it that in the end, Gaetz did not agree to the amendment of Cicilline? Anyone know how that turned out?
Look at all those Republican insurrectionist sitting in that room there’s fast talkingJimmy , MTG, the blonde wacko ,Matt Gaetz, the pursuer of 17 year olds while they’re being drugged . And many more of those Trump wackos.
Yeah right Matt gaetz. Ball is in your court Matt.
I’ll support banning those who supported an insurrection from even being IN Congress.
The problem with both scenarios (Pledge or Congress) is that you won;t get the traitorous Partisan to admit they supported it.
On a side note, I also support the return of our original Pledge and Motto.
EXCELLENT!!!
Oh Matt…the Insurrectionist would include you …not allowed to lead the Pledge of Allegiance!
Thank you, Rep. David Cicilline!!
Matt Get-Sum loves trusting minors and NOT under-oath adults
HYPOCRITS!!!!!
Democrats:
Jamie Raskin
Maxine Waters
Pramile Jayapal
All committed insurrection when they voted not to accept the 2016 electoral college votes.
False
Like and share
I won’t vote for anyone who was part of the Trump Administration.
There goes over 100 traitorous republican congressmen
UGH. Gaetz is a master of turn the tables and spin. We all knew what the Rep from Rhode Island was referring to yet this guy waters it down and spins it on Dems. No Gaetz, objecting to an elected official’s politics is not the same as actively supporting a coup to overthrow the government of the United States. And let’s talk about your blanket pardon requests, shall we? I hope the people who voted these shysters into office vote them all out at the end of their term
Awesome proposal! 👌
Gaetz is such a piece of garbage, you go Cicillne.
Ciciline is a Chi Com pig just like all Democrats.
Gaetz was part of the insurrectionists, and THAT is why he has a problem with it!!
CICILLINE IS MY NEW HERO! WELL SAID! NOW THAT’S AN AMERICAN! MATT GAETZ DESERVED THAT SO MUCH! 🇺🇸
Republicans don’t care, it’s all just putting up a front.
Well, what did Gaetz do?!
Rep. David is 💯💯💯💯💯 correct.
Thank you Rep. DAVID C.
David needs more air time!!!
GOP clown show as usual!
Start punching back folks, perfect example
14th Amendment Article 3 ” No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
Kick these seditionist traitors out of the Government. It’s the Law. Again this shows America has become a Lawless Nation. Where the wealthy and connected get away with throwing a COUP or any crime. Meanwhile the working class is either murdered or turned into slave labor at for profit prisons, especially if they are brown or black. Which is legal under the 13th Amendment…legal…Slavery. That needs to be changed asap but you won’t see either party try.
Semper Fi
Matt Gsetz is a corrupt imbecile. All should agree regardless of party. Matt canysgree csuse he is guilty and just cause he adopts black children to feel good about himself not being racist. He is definitely racist. Love this .
If itdont apply let it fly
Correct
They gave it to a man
Spies Head Trump
Clown
Gaetz, Graham, Greene, Gosar, Johnson and Boebert and the Trumps are embarrassing white people.
There was NO insurrection!!!!!!! It’s a demonrat/msm narrative to demonize those they disagree with. Sure, MF, an insurrection with no weapons. GFY!!!!
Oh there were weapons there.
section 3 of the 14th amendment……
“Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
Insurrection? That’s a joke to call it that,like they were trying to overthrow the government? Meanwhile it was orchestrated by the fbi
Call it a murder because that’s what the coward capital police did to unarmed Ashley babbitt
one day Biden says you don’t need ar-15s to overthrow the government you need F-15’s…..oh!
one day Members of Congress say you can’t overthrow the government we have nukes,…..oh!
…….but today the same Democrats call an unarmed protest with Facepainted Viking hat wearing loons that got a little out of hand is an Insurrection!!!!
ahhahahahahhahahahaha
Which is it????
rational thought says it was a most peaceful protest right???
Fkn dem/lib/radical FB goons. You either pledge an allegiance….or you don’t. If you have to set some kind of terns & conditions…you’re not American. Full fkn stop
#banalldomesticrepublicanterrorist How can you Pledge Allegiance to a Country and its Government you tried to overthrow? They should Pledge Allegiance to Putin because that is who they owe their Allegiance as Communist. #expellalltherepublicancommunist
Cicilline thought he was being cute. Gaetz made a fool of him.
Gaetz is a traitor to the Constitution.
These republicans participated in an insurrection and then when nothing happens to them they go on to introduce useless waste-of-time amendments and scold the opposition for associating their amendment with insurrectionist. THIS REALLY HAPPENED after the events in the clip… it’s like jeffrey Dahlmer getting mad when anyone mentions serial killers
This is absolute BULLSH💩T! Politicians wasting our tax paying $$$$ just to argue over political nonsense! 😲😒🙄 Will having a supportive, “proper politician” leading the U. S. Congress in the Pledge of Allegiance before meetings, help the average, hardworking American pay the daily rising costs of everything needed just to live through to the next day?! Or finally convince congress to pass a mandatory life-long living wage package for ALL working U. S. citizens, so only 1 JOB is needed to pay for household expenses? 🤔ANSWER: NO! Again, supposedly highly-educated U. S. politicians arguing over stupid political nonsense! I guess highly-educated U.S. politicians lose all abilities related to basic common sense once elected to political office! ALL U.S. congress members: Do your job and actually help the average American live a life worth living! 😲👍😎
An “InSuReCtIon” with no weapons… LMFAO.
bear spray and flag poles are definitely weapons.
Federal local state government are domestic terrorists and the media China virus showed the world that all governments are domestic terrorists they purposely killed people and ruined lives
All governments are domestic terrorists just listen to them they actually think they own every citizen
That is smoke
Those who supported the coup should be asked to leave while the pledge is spoken
Here come the excise making trolls with 1- It didnt happne2- it happened but it wasn’t a big deal 3- it happened but Trump didn’t do it 4 antifa did it . If they were telling the truth, they would not have so many different stories
but but NBC why did you cut and Edit the full debate you bunch of hypocrites
Wait, when did Beavis become a congressperson?
Just shut down the House until after the next election.
Of course Gaetz with double speak, twisting truths, lies to fit his political non American democracy agenda. Vote this bum out!
Watching the coverage of January 6 committee it’s hard to find any place where they proved beyond reasonable doubt that it was an insurrection. Beyond reasonable doubt is the standard for capital punishment. Just because they repeat the word insurrection multiple times doesn’t make it proof. They have not presented evidence beyond reasonable doubt that this was ever an insurrection. That is the basis for what all of these people involved are being adjudicated for.
A societal collapse in well underway lead by the Uniparty. The funny thing is, they think they will be able to pickup the pieces. LOL ROFL
Most of the Dems have forgotten how to do anything but apologize to and hide from the elected fascists who want to destroy the USA . But Cicilline remembers that he was elected to lead , not hide .
Commie hole.
Does stealing elections also count as insurrections?
What about endorsing riots and lawlessness? Does that count, too?
Matt Gaetz loves to use false equivalence because he’s not very bright. Some people just belly flop into these positions I swear
Full discussion: https://youtu.be/kU4OQnA8c7o
Here’s the entire debate for all you snowflakes who think that Gaetz is in the wrong. Never a dull moment in reading these comments who believe in the lies from the left 😂🤣🤣
The DEMOCRATS didn’t participate in the insurrection, Gaetz! It was you Republicans! Plus, who are those electors you’re talking about? That phony group you and Trump and Trumpsters wanted to substitute for the REAL electors?
Donald trump is responsible for 30% of our National Debt, because of the tax cuts for the rich! Joe Biden has reduced the Debt by 1.4 trillion so far. Republicans want to cut social security and Medicare!
Their should no insurectionist too even be allowed to even serve in congress.
THE GUILTY ALWAYS COMPLAINS….GUILTY IS GUILTY. MATT IS SUCH SCUM. REPUBLIKKKLANS ARE GUILTY OF SOOOOO MUCH BAD DOINGS.
matt gaetz is a traitor
Love it..
What a worthless tool of the left.
I understand these MAGA Republicans came close to losing in midterm.
I hope that American people will do the right thing and
remove all these crazy Republicans next time.
Come on America if the idea on January 6,was to fire,We the People,from doing our civic duty,luckily for the USA,that coup failed miserably ..And if you asked me rebels ,should not be sitting in Congress at all,because they lied before God and America..And God hates flat out liars…Proverbs Chapter 6 verse 17 .And arrogant mortals…😇😇😇
August 20, 2021 FBI confirmed there was no insurrection on Jan. 6. “The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result”.
You are all BRAINWASHED by the media.
Rep. David Cicilline and his fellow leftists want to redefine the meaning of an “insurrection”.
To do what Ciciline is suggesting has many levels of concern, anyone denying a member of the committee the ability to lead the pledge HAS TO HAVE PROOF POSITIVE THAT THE PERSON HAD ANY PART OF OR SUPPORTED THE ACTOONS ON JANUARY 4TH. I DON’T BELIEVE ANY PERSON ON THE COMMITTEE HAS SUCH PROOF POSITIVE AGAINST ANOTHER MEMBER OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED
Ban then from Congress
It’s not easy to get that Gaetz character to stammer when he knows he’s getting his clock cleaned. Beautiful.
but , but , but, .haha ha ha ha ha ha…still smiling Matt
Works for me. 🇺🇸
Insurrection is occasionally necessary much like calling Pest Control to spray around the foundation to Keep the Bugs Out….
MSNBC sucks
There wasn’t an “insurrection”.
That’s a lie.
A Democrat lie.
One of a zillion, at least.
define insurrection Cicilline you pig. And we are not a democracy, we are a representative republic.
Republicans don’t want a Democracy. They want a one-party dictatorship.
Truth.
Buy according to the Democrats, it’s best to stand against the Constitution!
So he wants to have the pledge of allegiance every day but won’t accept anyone who is involved in an insurrection against the government should be disbarred from making that pledge. An amendment from Gaetz about faux patriotism went spectacularly wrong when he couldn’t agree to include the disbarment from known insurrectionists like himself.
As far as I see. Democrats have been working towards an insurrection for the past ten years.
I can’t stand these fake patriots. They are patriots in re-appropriation of the word only. They aren’t patriots Like in Braveheart are in anything.
Democrats supporting our border invasion need to be sent to Mexico and stripped of their citizenship!
That’s how you smoke these traitors out. Questioning their competence or their sanity, or calling out their hypocrisy won’t work, because they clearly don’t care; question their PATRIOTISM, however . . .
Perfect watching Matt Gaetz having to eat his own sh*t. Thank you, Rep. Cicilline!
