Democratic lawmaker falsely claims House Republicans tried to 'provide themselves with a pay raise'

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., falsely accused House Republicans of attempting to “provide themselves with a pay raise" Saturday amid negotiations on a bill to avoid a government shutdown.

"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." Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

DeLauro's claim was met with immediate pushback from House Republicans, who shouted her down, yelling "That's false."
