I think it was a couple of years ago and IIRC most of the good xtian Republicans left the chamber and called it an insult.
I tried to find a story to see if they did so again, but saw no story.

Iowa is ripping holes in the space-time continuum trying to return to the 1890s, so I can feel fairly safe in assuming there were few Republicans in the chamber at that time.

Pity, they could have used some intelligent words. Based on my experience with them they hear few intelligent words in their lives.
