Rep. Corrine Brown: “the Bible says, let he without sin cast the first stone. Let me tell you in this Chamber, it is full of sinners. I am…”

“the Bible says, let he without sin cast the first stone. Let me tell you in this Chamber, it is full of sinners. I am here on behalf of my constituents who want me to tell the President that they love him and they are praying for him and the country. The Republicans say that their sin is different from the President's. They are hypocrites. What a shame that while the troops are fighting for us in the Persian Gulf, we are having this silly and stupid debate because of your hatred of the President. The President is like David from the Bible. He is the favorite one. He is the favorite one because he does the people's work. The Republicans hate him because he beat them on every single issue. Let me tell you what the real crime and high misdemeanor is, my fellow Americans. In 1994, the leaders announced their Contract on America. And today is the final agenda of that contract. They began their contract by attempting to cut school lunch, Head Start, food stamps, health care and Medicare for the elderly. These are the crimes that should be punished. This is a modern day coup d'etat, Mr. Speaker. It is the final piece of their contract. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. And let me tell you, the American people are not fooled by your motives.”
