The edited clip , however , leaves out key context .
The statement heard in the clip comes amid a campaign speech Biden gave in Manitowoc , Wisconsin , on Monday , according to C-SPAN coverage of the event .
A review of the full speech makes clear that Biden was not attempting to recite the Pledge of Allegiance , but rather referencing it as part of a broader point about how he would govern if elected president .

Verdict: False
The full video of the event shows Biden was not reciting the entire Pledge of Allegiance, simply referencing it during remarks he delivered in Wisconsin on Monday.
Fact Check:
In the eight-second clip, Biden can be heard saying, “I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, one nation, indivisible, under God, for real.” The video, which appears to show Biden misstating the Pledge of Allegiance at first glance, was shared by conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza and members of the Trump campaign, among others.

He used the example of CCP influence operation aimed at Roger Roth , the president of the Wisconsin state senate .

OTTAWA — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a nationwide television address Wednesday said diversity will help build a new and stronger economy in a country that he claimed is already in the midst of a second wave of the coronavirus.
“Diversity is not just our strength: it’s our competitive edge. Our differences are making us richer, whatever our beliefs, our culture or the color of our skin.”
Although the address focused on his Liberal government’s continuing response to the coronavirus pandemic as Parliament resumed Wednesday with a Speech from the Throne from the Governor General, Trudeau spoke at length about social issues and his vision of a green economy.

”We can’t forget what it’s all for: making sure that everyone can participate to their full potential … As a country we must keep making progress on reconciliation with indigenous peoples and on fighting systemic racism.” Trudeau said.
The prime minister described his plans for a new economy, based on “energy workers innovating to decarbonize, auto workers building zero emission vehicles, engineers and construction workers delivering green retrofits for our homes and buildings.”
Trudeau described the coronavirus “the fight of our generation” and claimed that the “second wave” of the disease “is not just starting it’s already underway,” as Trudeau claimed there were ten times as many new coronavirus cases on Tuesday than there were on the first day of the lockdown in Canada.
The Speech to the Throne contained more promises, including extending the Canada Emergency Response Benefit that provides a monthly $2,000 (CDN) payment to eligible workers until next summer. Trudeau also said he plans to introduce a universal national child care program in the near future.

Trudeau suspended Parliament on Aug. 24 after Finance Minister Bill Morneau resigned. Both Morneau and Trudeau had spent most of the summer battling a major spending scandal.
Official Opposition Conservative leader Erin O’Toole said he was not satisfied with Trudeau’s Throne Speech and his party will not support it when it comes up for a vote in the House of Commons, expected next week. Trudeau is at the head of a minority government and it will fall if another opposition party joins with the Conservatives to vote against it.
In a televised rebuttal to Trudeau’s speech, O’Toole said the prime minister had not offered “practical help” to assist small businesses to survive the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic nor had he delivered on his promise to initiate more testing for the virus.
O’Toole also criticized Trudeau’s dependence upon China for exports — especially during the coronavirus. Trudeau sent 17 tons of personal protective equipment to China leading to shortages in Canada early in the pandemic.
“We must open up new dependable markets in the Asia-Pacific,” O’Toole said, adding that Canada needs to tell “communist China” that “the one thing not for sale is our values.”

She said she did not tell anyone about the incident until 2012 when she mentioned in therapy with her husband that she was attacked by students “from an elitist boys’ school” who would become “highly respected and high-ranking members of society in Washington.” (RELATED: A Key Witness Has Lost Confidence In Blasey Ford’s Kavanaugh Accusation)
She did not mention Kavanaugh’s name in her therapy notes, the Post reported, and the therapy notes said that four boys were involved in the attack. Ford told the publication that this was the therapist’s error, and that there were four boys at the party but two boys involved in her alleged attack.
September 17, 2018 – Kavanaugh Denies Allegations
“This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone,” Kavanaugh said in a September 17 statement. “Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday.”
“I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the Committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity,” he added. (RELATED: Kavanaugh Classmate Named In #MeToo Letter Denies Assault Allegations)
Judge, the friend who Blasey Ford named, also denied the allegations. Ford had also said that Patrick J. Smyth, known in high school as “PJ,” was present at the party. Smyth denied any knowledge of the party or allegations against Kavanaugh in a Sept. 19, 2018 letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
September 18, 2018 – Ford’s Lawyers Demand An FBI Investigation
Attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Banks called for an FBI investigation to be conducted in a September 18 letter sent to Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and Feinstein.
“While Dr. Ford’s life was being turned upside down, you and your staff scheduled a public hearing for her to testify at the same table as Judge Kavanaugh in front of two dozen U.S. Senators on national television to relive this traumatic and harrowing incident,” the letter said.
“While no sexual assault survivor should be subjected to such an ordeal, Dr. Ford wants to cooperate with the Committee and with law enforcement officials,” the letter continued. “As the Judiciary Committee has recognized and done before, an FBI investigation of the incident should be the first step in addressing her allegations.”
President Trump defended Kavanaugh in the wake of Ford’s sexual assault allegations. (RELATED: Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters, Including Accuser Julie Swetnick, Gather For Anniversary Of SCOTUS Confirmation)
“This is is not a man who deserves this,” Trump said, according to CNN, adding that the allegations “should’ve been brought up long ago.”
The Supreme Court is one of the main reasons I got elected President. I hope Republican Voters, and others, are watching, and studying, the Democrats Playbook. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 19, 2018
September 22, 2018 – Ford Agrees To Testify, Second Kavanaugh Accuser Comes Forward
Ford’s lawyers announced September 22, 2018, that Ford would testify before Senate Judiciary Committee, the Atlantic reported.
“Dr. Ford accepts the committee’s request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct next week,” Katz and Banks said in a statement, according to the publication. (RELATED: Second Kavanaugh Accuser Was Unsure If Judge Carried Out Assault)
On Sept. 23, the New Yorker reported that Deborah Ramirez had accused Kavanaugh of drunkenly thrusting his genitals in her face at a college party while they were both attending Yale University. The New Yorker first contacted Ramirez after the publication learned through senate Democrats that she had potentially been involved in an incident with Kavanaugh.
Ramirez initially was reluctant to speak of the incident with certainty, the New Yorker reported, but called for an FBI investigation into Kavanaugh’s conduct after six days of “carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney.”
Kavanaugh denied Ramirez’s allegations. The New Yorker did not confirm the incident with any eyewitnesses.
September 26, 2018 – Michael Avenatti Client Accuses Kavanaugh
Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti, who formerly represented porn star Stormy Daniels, announced September 26 that his client Julie Swetnik accused Kavanaugh and one of his friends of spiking girls drinks with alcohol in the 1980s at parties, the Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported.
“I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be ‘gang raped’ in a side room or bedroom by a ‘train’ of numerous boys. I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their ‘turn’ with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh,” Swetnik said.
Kavanaugh denied the allegations, calling them “ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone.”
“I don’t know who this is and this never happened,” Kavanaugh said in a White House statement.
September 27, 2018 – Kavanaugh Hearings Begin Again
During televised hearings, both Kavanaugh and Ford came to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ford tearfully described the alleged assault, the New York Times reported, and Kavanaugh emotionally denied it.
“I believed he was going to rape me,” Ford said, adding, “It was hard for me to breathe, and I thought that Brett was going to accidentally kill me.”
“I am innocent of this charge,” Kavanaugh said. (RELATED: Trump Stands By Kavanaugh Immediately After His Testimony)
“This confirmation process has become a national disgrace,” he added. “The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process, but you have replaced ‘advice and consent’ with ‘search and destroy.’”
Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called the hearing “one of the most shameful chapters in the history of the United States Senate.”
“His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting,” Trump tweeted following the hearings, which he watched on Air Force One, according to the Times. He also praised Kavanaugh’s conduct, saying that Kavanaugh “showed America exactly why I nominated him.”
September 28, 2018 – Trump Calls For FBI Investigation
Trump ordered the FBI to reopen its background investigation in to Kavanaugh on September 28, 2018, the Times reported, after Republican Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake said he wouldn’t vote to confirm Kavanaugh without an FBI investigation.
“We ought to do what we can to make sure we do all due diligence with a nomination this important,” Flake said, according to the Times. “This country is being ripped apart here.” (RELATED: The FBI Isn’t Investigating Kavanaugh’s Adolescent Drinking, At Least For Now)
October 4 – White House Sends FBI Investigation Results To Senate
The White House sent the results of the FBI’s investigation to the senate on October 4, 2018. Senators were given the opportunity to view the report from a secure location in the U.S. Capitol, and the White House expressed full confidence that Kavanaugh would be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
“With Leader McConnell’s cloture filing, Senators have been given ample time to review this seventh background investigation,” White House spokesman Raj Shah said in a statement. “This is the last addition to the most comprehensive review of a Supreme Court nominee in history, which includes extensive hearings, multiple committee interviews, over 1,200 questions for the record and over a half million pages of documents.”
October 5 – Senate Votes To Confirm Kavanaugh To The Supreme Court
Senators voted to confirm Kavanaugh Oct. 5, 2018. Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the only Republican to break with her party — her vote was recorded as “present” rather than “no,” according to the Times, out of an agreement with Republican Montana Sen. Steve Daines, who would have voted yes but was attending his daughter’s wedding.
Kavanaugh was quickly sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. and retired Justice Anthony Kennedy in a private ceremony, the Times reported.
“He’s going to go down as a totally brilliant Supreme Court justice for many years,” Trump told reporters as he watched the swearing in on Air Force One, the Times reported.
November 4 – Senate Judiciary Committee Finds No Evidence Of Sexual Assault
On November 4, 2018, the Senate Judiciary Committee released a final report on the investigations into Kavanaugh’s alleged misconduct, announcing that it found “no evidence” to corroborate the claims against him. (RELATED: Senate Judiciary Finds ‘No Evidence’ To Support Sex Assault Allegations Against Kavanaugh)
“After an extensive investigation that included the thorough review of all potentially credible evidence submitted and interviews of more than 40 individuals with information relating to the allegations, including classmates and friends of all those involved, Committee investigators found no witness who could provide any verifiable evidence to support any of the allegations brought against Justice Kavanaugh,” the 414-page report says.
April 2019 – Katz Suggests Ford Acted Partially Out Of Fear For Roe v. Wade
Exclusive video footage obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation in September 2019 showed Ford’s lawyer, Debra Katz, saying that putting “an asterisk next to” Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s name before “he takes a scalpel” to Roe v. Wade was “part of what motivated” Ford to speak out.
WATCH:
Katz spoke at the University of Baltimore’s 11th Feminist Legal Theory Conference, “Applied Feminism and #MeToo” in April 2019, where she said: “In the aftermath of these hearings, I believe that Christine’s testimony brought about more good than the harm misogynist Republicans caused by allowing Kavanaugh on the court.”
“He will always have an asterisk next to his name,” Katz continued. “When he takes a scalpel to Roe v. Wade, we will know who he is, we know his character, and we know what motivates him, and that is important; it is important that we know, and that is part of what motivated Christine.”
The video was first reported by Ryan Lovelace in his book, “Search and Destroy: Inside the Campaign Against Brett Kavanaugh.” Lovelace told the DCNF that it calls into question everything that Ford and Katz have previously said — and that if this information was known during the September hearings, there might have been different questions and different results.
