CT Dem Official Faces More Backlash After Kneeling Again for Pledge of Allegiance
Fox News ^ | 8/01/18

A Connecticut city official who came under fire just weeks ago for taking a knee during the Pledge of Allegiance once again knelt in protest on Monday.

Haddam Selectman Melissa Schlag, a Democrat, first drew outrage when she took a knee on July 16 at a Board of Selectman meeting.

Schlag then posted a letter on Facebook that defended her actions, saying she knelt due to "extreme sorrow" for the country under President Trump.

"If she has so much disdain for the country in which she lives, why doesn't she just leave?" Lahren asked.

She looks like a real piece of work. Oh, and guilty. Video @ the link.

I feel extreme sorrow for the sad sad state of CT under the dems.

So, she posed for the camera. Got into place in the foreground. Waited for the photographer to say that he was ready. Put on a false-virtue-I’m-better-than-you face. Click.

Schlag looks like she couldn't be shagged in a gigolo house with a fistful of dollars.

I suspect that is a position that has made her famous in many slum bars...

I think the whole floor of that room should have very sharp-edged gravel. Bitch wants to kneel, make her FEEL it.

Better yet - every Patriot in that area should show up and give her the Maxine Waters Officially Endorsed Treatment.

Get in her face and show her what you think of her, loud, rude, and obnoxious.

After all, if that’s the way they want to play, we should play.

Every damn time she’s there.

I disagree. She had a poop-eating smirk on her face for this particular photo. If nothing else, her body language and facial expression tells me that she saw this as nothing more than a publicity stunt.

19 candidates on the ballot. 10 days out.

All are active on twitter/,facebook.
Mailers from 8 of them.

Nobody signed me up for Saturday door bells.
I hate to beg ...

I dislike candidates that hire staff that despise their supporters. Even if they are pro 2nd amendment.

Also, Herbst is struggling to get traction . Governor.
I am moving into theLinares camp.

Statewide races don’t excite me

She looks like she's praying.

Take a knee - only one knee touches the ground.
