In a bid to make her point, congresswoman Donna Edwards employed the lyrics of Jack White to take the Republicans to task
It's not often that rock'n'roll springs from the floor of the House of Representatives, but that's what happened when congresswoman Donna Edwards quoted the White Stripes during her time at the podium. Railing against the Republicans during a debate about the possible shutdown of federal government, Edwards quoted the band's 2007 song Cause and Effect, saying: "I guess you have to have a problem, if you want to invent a contraption. First you cause a train wreck, then you put me in traction." The clip ends before we can see whether any devil horns were waved in response, but the shutdown was averted at the eleventh hour.
