Children’s Choir Stopped Mid-Performance While Singing National Anthem at US Capitol, Capitol Police Claims it is a Prohibited Form of Protest

In a shocking turn of events, the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir was interrupted and stopped while singing the National Anthem in Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol.

The children, part of the esteemed Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, had traveled to Washington, D.C., for a scheduled Capitol tour and had received prior approval to sing a short set of patriotic songs inside the historic Statuary Hall.

However, as their angelic voices filled the grand hall while singing The Star-Spangled Banner with pride, Capitol Police rudely intervened, insisting that the children stop singing immediately. The abrupt interruption stunned the young performers, the choir director, and the assembled audience.

The Capitol Police did not allow the young children to finish the song and sought to explain to the choir director that singing the national anthem at the nation’s Capitol is considered a form of protest.

The GOP will NEVER get any American Patriot's vote again.

They support stolen elections, murder of unarmed women,
and the trafficking of children for their organs and
adrenochrome, arming Nazis, and this:

Sing whatever you want if you’re wearing hot pants, a rainbow sash, and you’re tucked or chest bound.

Then where are the alleged “good guys” when lockdowns and mask mandates were in place? Where were the alleged “good guys” when our cities were burning? They were protecting the rioters. Saint Kyle the Ventilator had to come in and do their job.

Setting aside whether this was a “protest”, why are protests forbidden at the Capitol?

Capital Police are the storm troopers for the DNC and black nationalists. Go to D.C. and count the white Capital police and one can use one hand.

As our founding fathers said, this nation is not for anyone but Christians. Everyone else wants different things and no Christians.

Does not matter.

What the person wearing the magical blue uniform says is the truth no matter what you stupid peasants.

The article is a bit disingenuous. And this is in no way defending the actions of the DC cops. It is a criticism of the hyperbole of the article.

The kids sang the entire first verse and were stopped 3/4's of the way through the second verse.

No, they should not have been stopped at all, but from the description I expected that they did not even get halfway through the first verse.

How many posting here could even sing that second verse? I know I couldn't.

you said ..”Then where are the alleged “good guys” “

Well I guess they were all in my neck of the woods.
We had no mask”mandate” enforcement...
And back when the natives were getting restless .. a couple of bus loads showed up in the parking lot of a local shopping center...
They were politely given an escort to the county line.

I guess it has a lot to do with where you live and the nature of the people around you.

o .. and we still have our Veteran memorials at the Court House.
....just saying ...
