This is a picture of Dianne Reidy the House of Representatives' stenographer who interrupted things on the House floor yesterday by screaming into a microphone about Jesus and Freemasons, etc.
Well, just in case you were thinking she was crazy she will have you know she is absolutely not!
For the last two and a half weeks the Holy Spirit had been waking her up in the middle of the night to prepare her to deliver a message in the House Chamber. So it's not as if this took her by surprise although it sure did everyone in the House.
Fox News has taken up her cause because they never want any one persecuted for their religious beliefs, if they're Christians that is.
Obviously, Ms. Reidy is lying. If the Holy Spirit was telling her anything he/it was telling her to write it down. She's a stenographer, for Christ's sake!
We were drawing to the end of a hugely embarrassing time in the history of the United States of America when a particularly troublesome group of politicians, all from the craziest wing of the Republican Party, had successfully shut down the government for sixteen days.
The House of Representatives gathered to vote on reopening the government and despite the 126 nay votes it looked as if business was going to resume.
The vote was finished, the yeas had it, and a House Stenographer named Dianne Reidy decided that was as good a time as any to go completely batshit crazy.
She started yelling into the microphone. Here is a pretty close transcription of what she said although we feel sure if she had written it herself it would have been completely accurate.
“He [God] will not be mocked! The greatest deception here is that this is not one nation under God. It never was. It would not have been. The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons. They go against God. You cannot serve two masters. Praise be to God. Praise be to Jesus.”
She was dragged away by security.
