Is it true at the DNC Convention, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance did NOT include “in God we trust?”
I’ve heard the same (but “Under God”), and found this article that says it happened in two meetings…
I am still looking for a second verification. Here is the Washington Examiner. Says there is a video that verifies it happened.
If mentioning god in the pledge of allegiance was good enough for the founding fathers it is good enough for me…

“Under God” was added to the Pledge during the communist era as the US response to the USSR stating their leader had command over everyone, and the effort was to abolish religious worship. The US response was to add “Under God” to the Constitution to emphasize Americans–everyone for that matter–had unalienable rights that overruled any human leader.

So the founders refused to have god mentioned in their pledge of allegiance?

There was no pledge of allegiance until 1892.
The Pledge of Allegiance (Same link MollyBrown supplied but apparently Vaard didn’t read.)
The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth’s Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country.
In its original form it read:
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
In 1923, the words, “the Flag of the United States of America” were added. At this time it read:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words “under God,” creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy’s daughter objected to this alteration. Today it reads:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

As you will see in Alex’s post the Founders did not have a Pledge. The National Anthem wasn’t adopted as such until 1931, although it was written in 1814.
Which is sung to the tune of an old British drinking song:
You mean the proper pledge how it was written?

You trollin’?
The DNC made it very clear as to the direction they are promoting…now vote and the direction becomes yours.
Probably one of many trial balloons by the cancel culture before they turn on the heat full blast on the church in their frying pan.
There was that threat againt the church expressed by that self appointed New York blm “leader”
The defacing of the chapel near the white house.
The burning of the bible’s at the court house in I think was at Seattle or Portland.
This pledge omitting “under God”.
There are other instances most recently.
Don’t know how much it will escalate or the intensity.
It depends on how early and how “forceful” the push back and the resistance.
lol yeah they absolutely refused. you can tell because they didnt include it huh?
Welcome to the forum!
It was actually 3 times that under God was deliberately omitted. Abraham Hamilton played all 3 times last night on his show on AFR.
They didn’t include it because they didn’t have a pledge to the flag.
I’m so glad Trump supporters are focused on truly substantive issues with this thread…

The founding Fathers already knew our new nation was “under God” as they credited him with endowing us with our rights and ordaining and establishing our constitution, which enumerates them…
