Stenographer Pulled From House Floor After Shouting During Vote

A House stenographer was physically pulled off the chamber floor after she started shouting during a Wednesday night vote.

Minutes before House members passed a bill to end a 16-day government shutdown and raise the nation's debt limit, the woman began shouting before she was grabbed by security officials and quickly taken off the floor. As authorities whisked her through the Speaker's Lobby, where reporters had gathered to watch the vote, she shouted, "God bless America."

As security personnel held her in an adjacent hallway, she shouted, "He will not be mocked," and, "Praise be to God."
