Hey Wikipedia, tell me about Francis Bellamy, the minister who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance that Linda McMahon wants school children to recite every morning.
![Bellamy was a Christian socialist, who
"championed 'the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus!"[6. In 1891, Bellamy was
"forced from his Boston pulpit for preaching against the evils of capitalism" [3] and eventually stopped attending church altogether after moving to Florida, reportedly because of the racism he witnessed there. '0! Francis's
career as a preacher ended because of his tendency to describe Jesus as a socialist. In the 21st century, Bellamy is considered an early American democratic socialist.""]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miczfsfixolk42l7343z3bpd/bafkreibwzxnzntp5jskbiiurhqcllcmhwk4i5lp2xuyxvwuaflhavoun4q)
