Outrageous! Children’s Choir Stopped Mid-Performance While Singing National Anthem at US Capitol, Capitol Police Claims it is a Prohibited Form of Protest
In a shocking turn of events, the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir was interrupted and stopped while singing the National Anthem in Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol.
The children, part of the esteemed Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, had traveled to Washington, D.C. last Friday, May 26th, for a scheduled Capitol tour and had received prior approval to sing a short set of patriotic songs inside the historic Statuary Hall.
However, as their angelic voices filled the grand hall while singing The Star-Spangled Banner with pride, Capitol Police rudely intervened, insisting that the children stop singing immediately. The abrupt interruption stunned the young performers, the choir director, and the assembled audience.
The Capitol Police did not allow the young children to finish the song and sought to explain to the choir director that singing the national anthem at the nation’s Capitol is considered a form of protest.
WATCH:
South Carolina’s representatives, Russell Fry, Joe Wilson, and William Timmons, were involved in granting the choir approval to enter the Capitol and had given their support to the performance.
Congressman Joe Wilson, although unable to attend the event himself, expressed his disappointment upon learning of the incident. He promptly engaged with his staff to resolve the matter, but unfortunately, no immediate resolution was reached at the time.
“We’ve been stopped in the middle of the Star Spangled Banner while here in the Capitol even though we were approved for this concert,” said Christina Chapman Heffernan.
“Certain Capitol police said it might offend someone/cause issues. We respect authority but we should have been allowed to sing because of the multi-level approval we already got from 3 representatives involved: Russell Fry, Joe Wilson, and William Timmons,” she added.
“The visit and Choir performance was all planned and approved… but it’s possible that there was some type of “permit” or communication mixup,” said Matthew Leys.
“Either way… the kids sang brilliantly; Capitol Police not even letting them complete the song and trying to explain that singing the Anthem could be considered a form of protest is telling and embarrassing; when you need a permit to sing your National Anthem in your nation’s Capitol, something’s gone wrong,” he added.
The incident raises concerns about the necessity for a permit to sing the National Anthem, a symbol of unity and national pride, within the very halls that represent American democracy.
One concerned citizen commented, “You are U.S. citizens in a public place exercising the right of free speech. Stopping the kids from signing the national anthem is no different than stopping you from waving the U.S. Flag. You were clearly denied constitutional rights—an issue you can sue in civil court over.”
The incident is now under investigation. Efforts are underway to gather further information surrounding the interruption and address the incident properly.
“We’re working on gathering info for now. We’d gotten permission from some SC congressmen and had also gotten it cleared by the Speaker of the House’s office. Once we have more info, we’ll know better how to proceed,” said Debbie Baughman Davis when asked who to address about this appalling interruption by Capitol police.
SC State House Representative Adam Morgan issued a statement regarding the incident, “The fact that our National Anthem could ever be considered “offensive” in our nation’s Capital is a stinging reminder of the challenges we face as a Republic…”

They will stand up to little kids, but take a knee to BLM.
There should be a pile of bodies in “Capitol Police” uniforms littering the area.
Well, pussy-foot’n is all done and they ain’t make’n no bones about it.
Best we can do now is prepare to give a good accounting of ourselves in and around our ghettos.
It is all connected:
Sound of Freedom – “God’s Children Are No Longer for Sale”
“There is a new Jim Caviezel movie coming out on July 4th that deserves some attention. Sound of Freedom is a new Angel Original production, based on the incredible true story of a former government agent turned freedom fighter who embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue dozens of children from modern-day slavery.
Long-term Treepers will remember the deep diving research we did into the issues of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC’s) during the first term of the Obama era. You cannot go into that world without finding the issue of trafficked children; it is a dark and horrific issue that few can truly fathom. CTH had to back out of the research because without professional support it has negative psychological impacts. The depravity is pure evil.
That said, Jim Caviezel is a big-time hero, genuinely surrounded by a manifestation of God’s armor, as he pushes through the horrors and brings sunlight onto the issue. There are approximately 2 million children trafficked every year, and the outcome of what happens to them is beyond disturbing”. TRAILER WATCH:

Who sent the Capitol Police to shut down the children , Is the question I am asking . Surely that would require WAY to much effort from the Krispy Kreme Precinct to engage on their own accord , So which group of politicians found the National Anthem so offensive as to shut down its singing? Never would have happened if they were of a “PROTECTED CLASS”.
Exactly.
The Defense of Ft. McHenry, our National Anthem. A song written by Francis Scott Key who was imprisoned by the British during the War of 1812. It was a symbol of resistance.
The fact that the DC Regime shut down the singing of that song tells you all you need to know. They are fundamentally illegitimate, they are no damn different than the Crown was in 1776.
When new symbols are emplaced, it’s a way of saying you have been conquered. Burn the Stars and Stripes, and those brave officers would help you do so. Pension and paycheck, after all. Burn the skittles flag or it’s trans/pedo variant, you get arrested immediately for “hate speech”, harassment, and terroristic threats.
I again say, when there are goofball dictates, such as mask mandates, shutting down of churches, who enforces it? When you have cities being destroyed to be bought up for pennies on the dollar by industrialists, who is providing material and physical support to the armies of the street? It isn’t the fat ass Karens who talk shit on Nextdoor, that’s for sure. When you have people being accosted in knock and talks about purchasing two firearms, who is at the door helping the ATF?
The problem is the police. Fundamentally. That’s when you get the intimidation and physical enforcement of bullshit.
ACAB.
The last three years have proven that and will continue to do so.
Without the enforcement arms, it’s just insane people screaming at clouds a la Abraham Simpson.
The Capital Police that acted on this should be stripped of their positions and flogged.They are a f*cking disgrace and an affront to actual Americans. Hanging is too good for them. I suppose all the choir members and their families are now on a list as future terrorists.
