... “For the past 2 and ½ weeks, the Holy Spirit has been waking me up in the middle of the night and preparing me (through my reluctance and doubt) to deliver a message in the House Chamber,” stenographer Dianne Foster Reidy told Fox News’ Chad Pergram in a statement.

“That is what I did last night.”

.....

Reidy, a married mom of two young daughters who makes $126,050 a year at her House steno gig .... Her husband – a video company owner and former director of the far-right Great Commission Ministries International – defended his wife’s public outburst.

“My wife is a sweet, level-headed wonderful woman of God,” he told Pergram.

“I am proud of her.”
