Christian Children Silenced While Performing National Anthem

[D2D]

The U.S. Capitol Police have apologized for halting a Christian children’s choir as they sang the United States’ national anthem with permission from the Speaker’s Office.

“Although popup demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed in the U.S. Capitol without the proper approval, due to a miscommunication, the U.S Capitol Police were not aware that the Speaker’s Office had approved this performance,” the U.S. Capitol Police told The Epoch Times in a June 2 email.

“We apologize to the choir for this miscommunication that impacted their beautiful rendition of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ and their visit to Capitol Hill,” the email continued.

A viral clip shows the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir singing Francis Scott Key’s song, inspired by the persistence of American forces against the British during the War of 1812, in the building’s Statuary Hall—itself recently transformed by ideology after Virginia removed a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in 2020.

Suddenly, the conductor, David Rasbach, is approached by a man who whispers something to him. Rasbach cuts off the performance before the children can deliver the song’s final line: “For the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

O'er the land of the free,

[D2D]

Democrats insist only the bureaucracy is free and you will be charged to be abused by it!

[dont-blameme]

If you believe the capital police then you'll believe anything and everything democrats say! Like an unarmed woman being a threat and had to be killed!

[warrenpees]

A non-story for those searching high and low for anything to be fake outraged about.

[Truman62]

ANYTHING to ignore the fact that MAGA Trumpers STORMED the US Capitol on January 6th!

[Local5th]

It's good the capitol police didn't hide behind locked doors and shoot one of the performers.

[D2D]

Democrats cheer religious discrimination just like the Taliban!

Miscommunication and failure to ensure everyone was on the same page...the choir should have also double checked before they started to ensure their performance was not interupted.  The "Speaker" may have approved it, but did he also follow protocol and ensure Capitol security was informed?  Probably not.

Sad, but hopefully the kids forgive and forget...

[Truman62]

OBVIOUSLY the MAGA Trumpers will get outraged at anything...

OMG There's a Black Cat!

[D2D]

Democrats say shut up and obey!

Democrats insist their rule is perfect and anyone who says otherwise is a traitor!

Then They Lied

As if that isn’t bad enough, the Capitol Hill Police later lied about it and said they didn’t stop the choir from singing.

The choir director told The Daily Signal that he was “shocked.”

“I was shocked, I was dismayed, I was stunned,” David Rasbach, the founder and director of the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, told The Daily Signal of the incident on May 26. “I couldn’t believe that was happening, that they would stop the national anthem of all songs.”
