President Trump was among several prominent right-wing politicians and media figures to claim that the Democratic National Convention removed the phrase “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance.
Trump’s claim is an overgeneralization of what happened at the DNC last week: Delegates at two out of the DNC’s 31 caucus and council meetings did not say “under God” when reciting the pledge.
