Republican Florida Congressman (and person trying desperately to get people to believe his last name is Damon) Matt Gaetz tried to mandate that the House Judiciary Committee start every meeting by having all members recite the Pledge of Allegiance, claiming it would inspire “unity.”
Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, however, pointed out that it was unnecessary because the House begins every daily session by reciting the Pledge “and we’re covered by that.”
