Minutes before the voting ended, a stenographer was escorted out of the House following a rant about Freemasons and God..
A stenographer had to be hauled out of the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday after she suddenly went up to the microphone and started yelling during a vote on legislation to end the budget crisis and re-open the government.
The woman, identified as Dianne Reidy, surprised House members when she started ranting about Freemasons who �go against God.�
�He will not be mocked. He will not be mocked. Don�t touch me. He will not be mocked,� she said as staff members approached her.
�The greatest deception here is this is not one nation under God. It never was. Had it been it would not have been. No. It would not have been!
�The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons. They go against God. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God Lord Jesus Christ,� she said.
The woman was eventually forcibly removed by security guards and Politico reported that she was escorted to a nearby elevator.
Rep. Gerry Connolly told The Washington Post that the stenographer is a well-known and liked figure in the House.
�I think there�s a lot of sympathy, because something clearly happened there,� Connolly said
Here�s audio of the woman that was posted by the Takeaway�s Todd Zwillich:
