Watch: Children's Choir Silenced By Capital Police While Singing the Star Spangled Banner
The Federalist Papers ^ | June, 2, 2023 | Steve Straub

Posted on 06/03/2023 6:43:07 AM PDT by Boomer

An elite children’s choir was abruptly silenced while singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” inside the U.S. Capitol due to concerns from Capitol police that the song could be interpreted as a “protest” and may offend someone.

That’s right.
The majority have no rights.

I've said all along the blm/antifa protests, the removal of confederate statues, etc...has really had the end goal of removing the US flag, the Star Spangled Banner, the Constitution, etc.

Why? Because they will argue slavery happened under all of these.

Their end goal is the destruction of the United States as we understand her.

Just ANOTHER example of the DC swamp being an entity unto itself and separate from the United States.

These glorified park police need to be seen and not heard; they have neither the interrogative nor the training.

I hope folks share this tweet/vid, far and wide.

And, I pray, that like a few parents in CA are FINALLY waking up, to the horrid queer mafia, folks will rebel about this, too.

I’ll bet it wouldn’t have been a problem if some gay men’s choir wanted to sing there.

The capitol cop goon squad didn’t have any unarmed women to murder like Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyle so they had to amuse their betrayal of the United States somehow!

Someone needs to be fired! When you cannot sing the national anthem, something is seriously wrong.

It’s funny (no, it’s pathetic) how this always works in one direction only. Some liberal might get offended. So stop what you’re doing!

But when a conservative is offended, that’s just too bad. Deal with it.

Aren’t the capital police under the control of the speaker?
If so. Good old Kevin should make the police commander give a public apology, then sh!t can em.
It doesn’t really mean anything, but damn that would be fun and show a small check on those people.

Adult criminals burn police cars, destroy antique statues, enter the country illegally, smoke crack, rape minors, steal American jobs... no one cares.

Kids sing national anthem... police quickly engage and disrupt.

That’s what I keep asking... Pelosi was in charge of Capitol cops, so McCarthy must be. Where is he on this outrageous bs?

Fair point. I don’t know if this is even a case of “just following orders”. The article doesn’t say who gave the order to shut down the choir. But it could have been just a bored, low-level patrol officer.

Too many cops just have to inject themselves into every situation, and give directions. And if no situation exists, create one.

I wonder what the names are on those statues behind them.
