RAW STORY
The host of Fox & Friends on Thursday hinted that a stenographer who interrupted a House vote
on reopening the government by yelling about God and “Freemasons” was
the victim of religious discrimination and she simply “saw something
that didn’t seem right.”
During a Wednesday night vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to
reopen the federal government after being shut down for more than 16
days, Dianne Reidy was forcibly escorted away from the Speaker’s podium
after screaming that the “greatest deception here is this is not one
nation under God, it never was.”
“The Constitution would not have been written by Freemasons, they go against God,” she said.
But
on Thursday, Fox News host Steve Doocy selected an email from a viewer —
who claimed to be a minister — to explain Reidy’s actions.
“It was not a mental episode, what she was doing was known as an
exercise of the gifts of the spirit where she brought a warning and a
message from God regarding the activity,” Doocy said the minister had
written.
A second email complained: “Amazingly, this religious and obviously
sweet lady gets fed up and speaks her mind, something we all have tried
to do. She brings up our dear Lord and she gets a mental evaluation? I
think it should be the other way around.”
Doocy noted that the email went on to suggest a list of other people who were more deserving of a mental evaluation.
Co-host Brian Kilmeade, however, was the voice of reason, saying,
“She got by the Speaker’s chair and started screaming in the middle of a
vote. You do have pull her away.”
“Well, sure,” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck replied. “We’ve had
incidents in the past which certainly require some security measures to
be taken and we’re thankful for those.”
“But
who knows, maybe she just saw something that didn’t seem right and
mounting frustration and tensions brought it out of her.”.......................
