The official meeting of the Republican National Conference (RNC) delegates Monday morning stressed the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, after a committee and a caucus meeting dropped the words from the promise during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) .
The refusal of “under God” from the two relatively small events caused a backlog of Republicans, including President Trump, and a flurry of fact-checks pointing out that in the four major broadcasts each night Democrats use the words “under God” “used. But Republicans have yet to say that the omission by the individual speakers – there was no party directive on the words – in the two assemblies represents a disrespect that Democrats have for people of faith.
“Two Democratic Caucus meetings remove ‘UNDER GOD’ from the Pledge of Allegiance. It sounded not only strange, but also terrible. That’s where they come from!” Trump tweeted Sunday.

At the Democratic National Convention, we know that at least two caucuses removed two words – “under God” – from the Pledge of Allegiance. We know that even at an earlier Democratic convention, a recent one, the word “God” was almost completely removed from their platform. That could never, ever happen here, “said Peter Goldberg, a delegate from Alaska, to applause at the Republican convention Monday morning before laying the building.
“We as Republicans know that America must put its full trust and confidence in that God, in order to do so, so that every American citizen can have the blessing of security, the opportunity for prosperity, and the opportunity to enjoy all those freedoms that ‘. t are enshrined in that divinely inspired document the Constitution of the United States of America. “
