Capitol Police accused of being thin blue line of dream-crushing liars

A children’s choir that was singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in the U.S. Capitol was cruelly forced to stop mid-song by a Capitol Hill police officer, and then the fireworks started over the questionable behavior of the police force.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity: In the famous Statutory Hall, the Rushingbrook Children's Choir was showing off its acapella skills. Video footage of the talented singers shows a congressional staffer walking to choir director David Rasbach and whisper something in his ear. Then the choir director signaled for the choir to stop.

Rasbach also told the Signal he was “shocked” and “stunned” over what happened because he had secured permission from three congressional offices, including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), to perform.


"If the Speaker's office gave them permission, that's the end of discussion," talk show host Jeff Crank tells AFN, "because the Capitol Police work for the Speaker of the House."


Not done with its blame game, Capitol Police also claimed its police officers politely “allowed the children to finish” their rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner because the “singers in this situation are children.”


“That’s a bald-faced lie,” Rea told the Signal, since video shows the choir was forced to stop singing.


Rasbach also said the police officer who forced them to stop singing shrugged when he told her the children would be upset. She told him they could go outside and sing, he recalled.
