ABC News – By Abby D. Phillip and John Parkinson
A House stenographer was pulled out of the House chamber while shouting into the microphone during Wednesday’s vote on a compromise bill to end the government shutdown and raise the debt limit.
The woman was Dianne Reidy, an official reporter with the Office of the Clerk, two sources told ABC News.
She was heard shouting “the House is divided,” according to one source. She was pulled off the rostrum by chamber security staff.
“He will not be mocked,” the woman said, according to an audio recording of the incident posted online by Public Radio International reporter Todd Zwillich. “This is not one nation under God. It never was.”
“The greatest deception here is this is not one nation under god! It never was. Had it been, it would not have been! The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons!” she added.
The incident caused a moment of chaos in the chamber as the presiding member, Rep. Ileana Ros Lehtinen, R-Fla., repeatedly banged the gavel, trying to restore order.
According to the Washington Post, Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., expressed “sympathy” for the stenographer “because something clearly happened there.”
Reporters and onlookers documented the incident in a series of confused tweets:
Protester dragged off House floor. Apparently one of the stenographers from the dais.

The government is driving everybody crazy. I wonder if she stopped taking her meds.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Amen.
This outbreak looks rehearsed to me.
To me it sounds like the woman has had her eyes opened to the corruption of the Freemasons, and she took the oppurtunity to speak her mind. Try to find one of “them” that ISN’T a Freemason.
I applaud this woman for having more balls than Cruz and the Gop COMBINED !!!
Of course, the Press will paint this as a “woman gone mad” even though she spoke the truth in a building where the truth is never spoken.
And she is correct…..56 of the signers of the DOI were Freemasons.
Yes she did scream about the freemasons and all but she as well as all of them govt. employees know exactly what goes on there. Yep, those stenographers hear everything that goes on and she knows exactly how crooked the goings on are, she didn`t just wake up one day and figure it out……. By the way, my mom was a stenographer for the fed. courts for many years down there in DC and she told me that it is so blatantly and obviously crooked that even a deaf and blind man would know what goes on in those fed courts……In other words, yes I do think that this outburst was staged. She knows who signs her check and who she works for and so therefore she should have no complaints. She chose to work there. Perhaps she should have choosen a more honorable and respectable form of employment maybe.
Good call, digger. I suspected as much myself.
