VP Harris mocked for flubbing opening line of Pledge of Allegiance: 'What an embarrassment'
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.
