  • On 26 October 2016, the conservative web site Free Republic recirculated a video purportedly showing Hillary Clinton laughing as Freeholder Susan Shin Angulo flubbed voicing the words under God during a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance at a campaign event: The above-displayed video is real and was captured at a campaign event in Camden County, New Jersey, on 11 May 2016. It features Freeholder Susan Shin Angulo introducing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Although Angulo failed to enunciate the words under God during her recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, she averred that she had made a mistake at an inopportune moment and had not intended to elide the phrase: It was just overwhelming and I have to say I am so embarrassed for stumbling at the worst possible time of my speech, Angulo told New Jersey 101.5. Anyone who has seen me speak knows I proudly say ‘God Bless America’ in all my speeches. My apologies if anyone thought it was intentional. The video does show Hillary Clinton smiling and laughing as Angulo flubbed the Pledge, but it's not clear if she was laughing specifically at the omission of under God or whether she was simply trying to make an awkward moment less awkward. A full video of Clinton's speech, and Angulo's introduction, can be viewed below: (en)
