Republicans 'stole election,' but strike allegation from Cong. Record

In a bizarre day in the U.S. House of Representatives, Republicans enacted a bill "barring any federal official from requesting that the United Nations formally observe the U.S. elections on Nov. 2." Along the way, a Florida representative went off on the majority party:

"I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure it doesn't happen again," Brown said. "Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said, 'Get over it.' No, we're not going to get over it. And we want verification from the world."

That was Rep. Corrine Brown, D.-Fla., who is about to get a better wig. Brown is well-known for sticking her shooting off her mouth, but still, it was a shame that Republicans found her comments so offensive that they were ordered stricken from the Congressional Record.
