Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., falsely accused House Republicans of attempting to "provide themselves with a pay raise" Saturday as she objected to a stopgap spending bill before ultimately voting for the measure.
DeLauro said there were "many changes" between the bill that was offered in the House and the version that was offered in the Senate, with one being a pay increase for those serving in Congress.
"Here is one that I believe the majority will not mention," DeLauro said. "They amend the Senate bill to give themselves a pay raise. A pay raise. It's there. You can look at me, you can smile but what you did was you amended the Senate bill to give yourselves a pay raise."
DeLauro's claim was met with immediate pushback from House Republicans, who shouted her down, yelling "That's false."
