Social media users ripped into Vice President Kamala Harris for appearing to get the words to the Pledge of Allegiance wrong in the U.S. Senate on Friday.
Before swearing in the senators of the 119th Congress, Harris led the pledge and accidentally mixed up its famous opening words, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America."
Over the microphone, she could be heard saying, "I pledge allegiance to the United States," trailing off as she appeared to catch herself, then picked up with the others, "… the United States of America."
However, the moment went viral on social media, with a multitude of X users mocking her gaffe.

"HOLY SMOKES. Kamala just screwed up the pledge of allegiance on the Senate floor. What an embarrassment to this country," prominent pro-Trump account Johnny Maga posted on the platform.
He added, "Tens of millions of Democrats voted for this woman to be president just weeks ago…"

Conservative commentator and comedian Terrence K. Williams said, "Kamala Harris doesn't know the Pledge Of Allegiance. This woman really wanted to be President! It’s actually an embarrassing that the Vice President doesn’t know the Pledge of Allegiance."
Libs of TikTok added, "OMG. Kamala just messed up saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank God Trump won."
