Republicans in the House of Representatives on Thursday threatened to strike a Democratic representative's words from the record and then booed her after she shamed them for cutting food stamp funding from the farm bill.

"The Bible says, to whom much is given, much is required," Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) observed during debate over whether funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) should be stripped from the farm bill. "And this is a sad day in the House of Representatives. Shame on the Republicans! Shame on the House of Representatives!"

After an objection from Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA), Speaker pro tempore Kevin Yoder (R-KS) ordered Brown to "suspend" and "be seated."

"Excuse me," Brown replied, glaring at Yoder. "What did I say that was incorrect?"

In a point of parliamentary inquiry, Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) pointed out that Republican members of Congress had often called out President Barack Obama and even said, "Nancy Pelosi's a train wreck."

"And their words have not been taken down and they've not been seated," Edwards insisted. "Is it not in order for the gentle lady to be recognized and to be able to speak on this issue, merely saying 'Republicans'?"

Yoder then gaveled for Edwards to "suspend" and noted that Woodall had demanded that Brown's words be taken down.

After about five minutes of discussion, Yoder returned to the podium to say that Woodall had decided to withdraw his objection and Brown was allowed to continue.

"This is a sad day in the House of Representatives, and to separate the farm bill from the elderly, from the children, this is a shame!" Brown exclaimed. "Mitt Romney was right. You all do not care about the 47 percent!"
