. . . singing the national anthem at the nation’s Capitol is considered a form of protest.

I suppose it is when the nation's capitol is under control of the enemy.

I wanted to say I did Nazi that coming, however, I did!

I predicted this here at FR (in jest) at least five or six years ago.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one to do so, perhaps I'm thinking of something you said.

“Big difference between a private thug group for ‘elites’ and the folks who protect US. All of us.”

I have a point in asking this question so bear with me: What city and state do you live in?

Or taking a knee for George Floyd draped in fakea@@ Kinte cloth “african” sashes— which the dem rat congress jerks did with Queen NefertiNanzi Pelousi.

McCarthy needs to be contacted en MASS— this is NOT the Job of the Capitol Police. They answer to him and to Schumer so far this year.

Schumer- press get on him right away— “The National Anthem is considered an illegal Protest Song? in the US Capitol grounds?.... what about it Schmuckie Schumer?

Bingo. While it’s absurd for an officer to be able to just, unilaterally, label a song a ‘protest’ and shut it down, it’s another thing entirely to assume the authority to shut them down even if it were a protest.

There’s obviously a huge problem in D.C.

The Congress, as a Globalist entity, oversees the Capital Gestapo. As you may have noticed, Congress DOES NOT answer to legal voters and US citizens.

“Move along. There is nothing to see here.”

Bad headline, reads as if choir protested by stopping.

Use active voice for clarity.

“Capitol Police Halt Children’s Choir Mid-Song, Cite Anthem as Form of Protest.”

My tenth grade journalism teacher wasn’t the best, but thank you, Mrs. F. for the basics.

I understand this being declared a form of protest. Everyone in there would be compelled to stand still with their hand on their heart for the duration. Protesters would sing it all day thereby bringing government business to a halt. (Not saying that would be a bad thing)
I do not believe this is nefarious or any type of censorship.

The Constitutional Republic was successfully overthrown during The Coup of 2020.

More to come.

I know it was over 20 years ago and a different group of captitol crooks, but sometimes I wonder if it would have been better if flight 93 hit its mark.

I doubt the Soviets ever stopped anybody from singing “The Internationale.”

We need to find out the facts from McCarthy’s office. I’ve heard this is prohibited around the Statue of Liberty but not at the US Capitol.
