Things have gotten so bad in Congress that a priest prayed to 'cast out all spirits of darkness' on the House floor
Joe Perticone
The chaplain of the House of Representatives prayed to remove "darker spirits" from the chamber on Thursday after a contentious week in Washington.
Rev. Patrick Conroy, a Jesuit priest, used the House's opening prayer to "cast out the spirit of petty divisiveness."
There have been several controversial votes, partisan squabbling, and Democratic Caucus infighting over the week, which has tempers flaring throughout the Capitol.
