What This Good Samaritan Did To Politician Who Refused To Stand For The Pledge Is Causing Controversy Recently, at a Winter Garden city commission meeting, the pledge of allegiance was about to start, when the mayor noticed that the man filming the meeting was not standing for a pledge. The Mayor asked the man if he could stand. He did not, however, ask the man to recite the pledge. Still, the man refused. The Mayor asked the police officer to remove the man from the room for being disrespectful while they continued to recitation. What do you think of the Mayors action?
