With permission from and sponsorship by several South Carolina congressmen, the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, which is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, traveled to D.C. and assembled to perform The Star-Spangled Banner in the United States Capitol. Instead, the Capitol Police shut them down because (allegedly) they claim our national anthem is an illegal protest song. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) needs to bring these partisan pistol-carriers to heel.

Last Friday, the children, all clearly under 13 years old, were doing a beautiful job of singing The Star-Spangled Banner, when the Capitol Police stepped in and stopped them. That’s bad. What’s worse is that they apparently did so by claiming that the song was an illegal protest song:
Where's the spineless GOP!? Incase anyone had any doubts, every Fed/DC agency is full of commies that hate us and there are no "honest hard-working rank and file". They were successful in getting rid of the decent ones by using the vax mandates. I really hope Trump wins just to see him implement his plan to have a year long celebration for the US 250th anniversary...frick the leftist!

This is Obama's America. I hope every person that voted for him and Biden burn in Hell.

I’m sure the ACLU would love to take on such an obvious violation of Free Speech.

They were preparing to sing the third verse which, BTW, is pretty bad.

The kids should count themselves lucky that none of them were shot in the face at close range or thrown in solitary confinement.

There has got to be more to this. I can't imagine at least one Republican representative in freaking South Carolina wouldn't be in front of a camera campaigning off of something like this. You could get yourself a month's worth of political donations off of a Fox news appearance defending a bunch of kids that just want to sing the national anthem.

They sang the first and second verses. They were stopped when singing the third verse. In the third verse, Francis Scott Key had a special message for the enslaved people who had dared to fight for freedom "we will pursue you to get revenge: No refuge could save the hireling and slave, from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave."

Maybe that is why nobody generally sings that verse and why the police requested they stop.

I think that’s a pretty safe bet.

May 26, 2023, the day a Children’s Choir mounted an illegal takeover of the U.S. Capital.

Seriously, I can't think of one bright spot to point out in our country right now.
