Vice President Kamala Harris Appears to Flub Pledge of Allegiance in Latest Gaffe
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to botch the Pledge of Allegiance as the Senate was sworn in for the 119th Congress.
“I pledge allegiance to the United States of America,” the vice president said as she led the Senate in the pledge Friday, omitting the words “the flag of.”
The full pledge, which many children have memorized in grade school, goes as follows: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
In a video clip of the major blunder, senators could be heard reciting the pledge correctly and Harris, 60, seemed to doubleback, repeating the words, “United States of America” after hearing members of the upper chamber correctly say, “to the flag of” as she flubbed the line.
Some social media users appeared shocked by the slip-up.
Kamala Harris doesn’t know the Pledge of Allegiance!
