Summary
Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) expressed concern over a Gallup poll showing a record-low number of Americans (17%) saying they are “very proud” of their country. Hageman argued that the country’s cultural identity is worth preserving and urged Americans to rekindle their appreciation for it on the 250th Independence Day. She attributed the decline in patriotism to the Democratic Party’s attempts to reinterpret the country’s founding and emphasized the need to focus on America’s history with honesty and accuracy.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Rep. Harriet Hageman took to the floor to sound the alarm on declining American pride. She cited a Gallup poll and attributed the decline to the Democratic Party’s reinterpretation of the country’s founding. Hageman emphasized the need to preserve America’s cultural identity and urged Americans to rekindle their appreciation for it. The speech was set to be delivered in the coming week, coinciding with America’s 250th Independence Day. The timing of the speech highlights the ritualistic nature of patriotic discourse in American politics.
