President Donald Trump looked to appeal to evangelical Christians, suburban mothers and Midwest voters as he falsely claimed Democrats are attacking their values — even going so far as to remove 'God' from the Pledge of Allegiance.

said by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's grandchildren. The omission of"under God" was not included in any official DNC guidelines.

But Trump, in an appeal to evangelical voters, tweeted Saturday that the omission from individual caucus meetings is a sign of what's to come for Americans. "The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn't. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it's done. Vote Nov 3!" the president wrote on Twitter Saturday morning.The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention.

The god line was not in it originally, added by Ike. Actually I guess I am a bit offended being asked to say the pledge. Voting, caucusing, paying taxes, participating in democracy is a pretty good pledge, show of my allegiance

Fix the headline to point out the statement is incorrect. Too many people only read the headline and then pass your inaccuracy on.

LIES. Stop spread lies.

The phrase 'under God' was incorporated into the Pledge of Allegiance on June 14, 1954. The Pledge itself was devised in the wake of the Civil War and only adopted - without any reference to God - in 1892.

Makes sense. This country is made of all sorts of religious and separation of church and state. The pledge didn’t have under god until 1960’s and should be removed.

And since you know he was not telling the truth, why repeat it he n a headline?

Dear Newsweek, why didn’t the title of this article read: “Trump lied and said DNC removed “under God” from Pledge”? 🧐

The left eats it children like clockwork. Just reading the comments below shows the rabbit hole. Newsweek is no Trump supporter and yet they are being circumspect about what he said, but National SOCIALISTS in the comments want Newsweek to say 'Not True' in the headlines.

Fake news

Lol

ANOTHER BLATANT LIE! The Democrats did not leave out the words, “Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance.

Liar

God does not love the USA anymore than he loves the other 200+ countries. Please leave god out this politic mess

What a liar!

Do you know the dumbest thing about being led by a political liar, uh, leader, is that you don’t have to create new ones...for their support they already believe the lies you previously told, So essentially you’re wasting a lie!

He’s a lying sack

TRUMPY, The Pathological Liar in Chief, strikes again!

How hard is it to stop acting as a bullhorn for obvious lies? Who is in charge ?

Hasn’t been in there that long.

Your headline should include that he lied about this.

Does it include Jerry Falwell Jr?

Newsweek has suddenly made Fox News look like NPR.

One more Tweet in the continuous flow of Bullshit from this guy. I'm glad I don't expect anything from this guy, it saves me from being disappointed. After investing so much time and money, if the Evangelicals ever tried breaking away from this nut, their heads would implode.

It's almost as if you know your target audience is not going to read past the headline.

Here we go, I would assume everyone getting tired of his constant barking of denials, insults and BS

Umm, except they DID say it, every time the Pledge was recited. Jeez.

How about 'Trump falsely claims...'?

Please correct your headline to realDonaldTrump lied. The truth should be in the headline, not buried.

Not.

Trumps a bad joke.

Trump LIED and said DNC removed 'God' from Pledge of Allegiance in an effort to rile up his gullible followers who never do any fact-checking. Fixed that headline for you.

What a surprise he's wrong

eisenhower put it there along w putting it on our money, it should be removed...you have no evidence for your delusion

One thing about Trumpers...they NEVER fact check, so that is why Trump keeps this up and incites such hatred across the USA. He has the most moronic fans that just gulp down the Kool-aid without firing any neurons at all! 🤯 This group is gone 🤪forever...no way back now!!

Trump's a liar and you are a megaphone for a liar.

Any real patriotic GOP will tell you this is fake news. Trump has only Made America Weak Again!

Does not not know the truth? The media should stop promoting his lies in tweets and headlines. Name it was it is. Not the word of the RNC God but a lie.

Я вижу что ты делаешь товарищ.

It's like reading an RT headline.

Coming from one who has constantly demonstrated that he is completely and totally Godless.

Do better ! Your headline is faulty and completely misleading. It should begin with, ' realDonaldTrump LIED when he said that....' Why let him get away with this bullshit. Stop being part of the problem.

They didn't BTW Obama removed it too.

Not true?

I watched all four night of the DNC. They said the all words.

But they didn't and yet you're perpetuating the lie. What happened to this publication? Shame on you.

Thats been a thing with the left for years

Trump can say the most outlandish things and 'his people' will take it for fact.

How about the truth Newsweek? “Trump FALSELY says DNC removed...”

Another Trump lie

Just another lie from the liar-in-chief.

Newsweek Flash: they didn’t. realDonaldTrump lied. Again.

This is a lie.

Why does he lie about something that can so easily be checked? Maybe this would be a good example for his Press Secretary?

C’mon, Donald. It’s on tape. Why the obvious lying?

JoeBiden KamalaHarris and the Democratic Party are great deceivers and stand for everything else but God. Taking it out of the pledge is irrelevant as they aren’t living it in their policies and budget practices.

It’s a lie of course, as everything Trump says is. However, one dyslexic kid did say “dog”.

Ffs, make the headline read. “Trump Lies again....” I mean ffs, this is why we are where we are.

What? First...it wasn’t removed. 2nd how does removing it please evangelicals?

Which is untrue. This did not happen. But even if it did, isn’t it about time

You should specify in the headline that it is false.

How hard is it to just write, “it’s not true” at the end of your tweet? Then again, you know exactly what you’re doing and should be ashamed.

Another lie easily disproved but his supporters will just accept it as fact. No intellectual curiosity on their part.

Not true

was once a good source until they got brainwashed until and became nypost.

😂😂😂😂 and his idiots fell for it

Fake, lie. Nice Christian thing to do.

Liar

That headline has a mis-placed modifying phrase. It should read, “In an appeal to Evangelical Christians, Trump says...”

Liar!

I really really dislike your clickbait headlines. This is an obvious lie by the president.

This is a lie...it’s been fact checked...move on with your nonsense!!!! Horrible reporting!!!

What is wrong with you. The title should make it clear that we did say 'under God'. I hate click-bait titles.

To say these things as a fringe 3rd party candidate in a 1980s Russian satellite state election is one thing. But to shoot these mouth turds at Americans as president in a major election in 2020!?!?!

Which is falss

, your headline needs correction. Should be 'Trump falsely claims...' because it was a lie. The phrase 'under God' was in all nationally televised pledges each night--easily verifiable. Is your new motto 'The Freedom to Spread Lies?'

Maybe state that Trump “falsely” stated this untruth FIRST...

That's the dementia tweeting.

Trump is a joke and a liar and a cheat. He's a WAP

They did twice.

Somebody, anybody find out what’s going on with Newsweek.

Your headline implies this was true. It should have made it clear it was false. DoBetter.

: By not including in your headline that his statement was a lie, you are helping him propagate that lie. You know how this works. This was a journalistic fail. Do better. Now.

Check your sources You guys have been putting out some terrible articles lately that just spread bullshit. Unfollowed

Falsely claims. Is that so hard to say?

Trump LIES and says DNC removed 'under God' from Pledge of Allegiance in appeal to evangelical Christians

Christian remember about 10 chosen people employed/campaign staff by trump have been arrested. He send militia to peaceful demonstrations,that poor senior man slam to the ground taken to hospital.separates children from parents at border.held Bible upside down!

And Newsweek left out the most important part. That it is a lie!

He is spreading more lies and fake news

The Pledge of Allegiance is Nationalist indoctrination. I said it every day over the intercom throughout school. Every single day before anything else while half awake running on poptarts and Adderall. Why? Can we talk about this stuff?

How about instead of 'Trump says' you put 'Trump highlights' so it wouldn't appear like Trump made it up to the casual reader? Sneaky press!

Most right wing evangelicals are low information voters and only get news from right wing sources. Evangelicals need to return to genuine Christianity instead of acting like a political party.

It is a matter of fact not Trump says!!!! We watched

Holy Ghost comin into the left a little hot.

Well done Newsweek! Your transition to a “softer, more credible Fox” is complete. But a better headline would have been “Trump Breaks the 9th Commandment to Pander to Evangelicals”

Your headline is misleading - don’t share everything he says - 99% is a lie!

NEWSWEEK IS MAGA research their staff

But they didn’t. So, more lies.

JFC. Don’t say “says”. Say LIED. He lied. After the shitstorm that befell you a few weeks ago, why do you keep helping him?

And trump doesn’t lie!! Lol 😂 🤣😂🤣!! 🤥🍊🤡!!

Another terrible and misleading tweet. Why did you choose not to state that it's a lie in the tweet?

Just stop with Trump lies!!!!!

'Truthful words stand the test of time but lies are soon exposed.' - Proverbs 12:19. FakeNews WalkAway SaturdayMorning PledgeOfAllegiance

Correct headline: 'Trump lies, falsely accuses DNC of removing 'under God' from Pledge when in fact it was not removed'. Come on . Do better!

Loving, evangelical Christians will not put another god before our God or worship a false idol. They now know Trump is not who he says he is.

They did remove it which means they’re trying to appeal to Muslim people and alienate Christian people which this nation was built on not a smart move. Trump2020Landslide Victory. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Survey says...

But they didn’t. Report on THAT!

Trump tells LIE that DNC removed 'under God' from Pledge of Allegiance in appeal to BIGOTS. FIFY

Trump is a beguiling bungler

This is the Trump/Pence/Barr/Republican Law & Order! Let’s remove these anti (black, Hispanic, minorities), pathetic, unruly gangster mentality elements from American Society! Anyone complicit to such atrocities need to be prosecuted and arrested!

4evrmomof4 FACT CHECK: FALSE 🤥 Suggested headline: Trump (*falsely says* or *lies and says* or *has completely lost his mind and says*) DNC removed 'under God' from Pledge of Allegiance in appeal to evangelical Christians.

More bullshit from trump. Funny he doesn't act christian, just uses it to con people.

Go find the pledge on line video from the DNC and watch all 4 nights. It’s there loud and clear. Facts rule, you drool!

Your headline needs correcting because this is BULLSHIT. I can only assume thus is clickbait and intentional. Shameful trash.

realDonaldTrump lied. ALL 4 NIGHTS of the convention, THEY said the pledge, and records, 'Under God' were in every single one. This is freely available online.

and Trump did...now what? FourMoreYears

Trump and Repubs have proved that this nation has never been under God!

Fix your headline: “Trump lies again”

Let me fix your headline DNC removes ”under God” from Pledge of Allegiance in appeal to their supporters. Trump fires back with a tweet supporting God.

didnt see one american flag at the convention either.

Which is untrue. He needs to stop getting his 'news' from Facebook, Fox, OANN or 'Q'.

You mean Trump lied. Why is every mainstream media afraid to just say it? Trump lied.

Hey Newsweek you might want to change your click bait headline to say Trump lied because in fact this IS A LIE.

It's been called out as a BIG FAT lie like himself

Lie. You didn’t say he lied about it in the headline. Shame on you.

'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.' The original & popular Pledge of Allegiance wording was composed in 1892 by Francis Bellamy who was a Baptist minister and a Christian socialist.

Please in the headline state this is a lie.

Another lie!

A sad and desperate man .... His lying and attempts to divide have grown old and stale.

He lied. It's a lie. A bald faced lie. It is fact that this did not happen. Grow a spine and call it what it is: a lie.

What?

Trump lied. Go on, say it. He LIED.

Quick edit Newsweek: 'Trump says DNC removed 'under God' from Pledge of Allegiance in appeal to evangelical Christians, but TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks' You still non-monetarily 'paying off' any undisclosed lawsuits to TraitorTrump? SaturdayVibes

'Trump Lied, Claiming DNC removed...' He lied. It's not difficult to prove he lied. So quit reporting his lies like they aren't LIES.

Trump's lying (again). 🙄 Actually the original 'Pledge of Allegiance' written in 1892 didn't have the words 'under God'....those words weren't added until 1954.

Newsweek is garbage.

realDonaldTrump FoxNews GOPconvention GOP EvangelicalsForTrump TrumpTrain He lied to Christians about the use of the word god in an attempt to gain thier vote 😐 but he is the chosen one 😬 That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works. Unless you're a crook!!
