Former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords Leads DNC in Pledge of Allegiance

In one of the most moving moments of any political convention, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) lead the DNC in the Pledge of Allegiance Thursday night.  Giffords, helped onstage by her best friend DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wassmerman Schultz, survived an assassination attempt in Jan. 2011 while holding a political meet-and-greet in Tucson.  Though she’s now out of Congress and working on physical therapy for her brain injury, she’s not out of politics, having recently launched a new political action committee, Gabby PAC, according to the Huffington Post.
