TRUMP: “The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. On the fourth night, it’s recited by Cedric Richmond Jr., the son of Rep. Cedric Richmond of Louisiana. Those two words have prompted a debate at times over whether people who do not practice religion should be expected to pledge allegiance to a country under God. ___Find AP Fact Checks at http://apnews.com/APFactCheckFollow @APFactCheck on Twitter: https://twitter.com/APFactCheck
