A Los Angeles Council member was left with a red face after asking the Pledge to direct obedience, just to stop some of the rhetoric.

Instead of correctly quoting the words of the Pledge of Allegiance, de Leon said: ‘I pledge allegiance to the invisible United States flag…, I pledge allegiance to the United States flag bhrat for which of the standing. One nation, under God, inevitable, with freedom and justice for all. ‘
After the deep effort to lead the Pledge, someone in the room is heard saying ‘oof’.
The councillor’s effort on the Pledge of Unrest was not watched by many people and prompted social media to express their disappointment.
One person tweeted: ‘I have a kindergartener who goes 4 and a half days a week who knows the promise, likes to say the promise, and knows how Zoom works.
‘If the people of LA need someone to say the lead, they can thank us.’
People took to social media to aim a joke at Kevin de Leon for his effort on the Promise, with some arguing that their kindergarteners could do a better job, and others suggested that he had come ‘so close’ to being right.
Another said their five-year-old kindergartener could have done a better job.
Others joked that de Leon had come ‘so close’ to his effort and had only one job. ‘
Following his mistake, de Leon took to Twitter to recognize his faux pas and uploaded an image of Bart Simpson writing the correct words on a blackboard.
In his tweet, the councilor said: ‘Shame, am I right?’
He also used the opportunity to encourage people to donate ‘a little $$’ to a non – profit organization.
