Trump took to Twitter to accuse Democrats of not uttering the word God in the pledge at this weeks Democratic National Convention. While the word was featured in the pledge at the convention every night for each of the four days, some of the speakers did not say it duringtheMuslim Delegates and Allies Assemblyand theLGBTQ Caucus meeting, which were not part of the main programming,according to The Associated Press.

The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasnt. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-its done. Vote Nov 3! Trump tweeted.

The controversy over the Pledge of Allegiance was sparked by a story on the Trump-friendly Christian Broadcasting Networkthatwas then picked up by Fox News.

The tweet led to a flood of posts fact-checking the president, with users posting videos compiling all the times under God was said during the convention.

We need not agree with the @TheDemocrats platform to speak simple truth when @realDonaldTrump lies. Heres the pledge from all four nights of the DNC. https://t.co/sHes8QEp2Y

The president in speeches and online has highlighted various fronts of the culture wars to boost support among critical demographicssuch as evangelicals and suburbanites.

We moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem. That's for the evangelicals, he said this week.

Trump has also warned that Democratic policies will lead to a spike in crime in suburbs, citing ongoing protests in some cities over systemic racism, amid signals the GOP is shedding support in such areas after the president won the vote in suburbs in 2016.

Why would Suburban Women vote for Biden and the Democrats when Democrat run cities are now rampant with crime (and they arent asking the Federal Government for help) which could easily spread to the suburbs, and they will reconstitute, on steroids, their low income suburbs plan! Trump tweeted Saturday.

The remarks as of yet have failed to make a sizable dent in Bidens polling lead.
