[VIDEO] Democrat freaks out over Obamacare defunding vote: ‘We need to believe in this government again!’

WASHINGTON — A Democratic congressman from Virginia raised his voice on the House floor Friday and lamented how the Republican push to defund Obamacare makes him less “proud” to be a member of Congress.
“I used to be really proud of this institution,” Virginia Rep. Jim Moran said before the body voted Friday on a continuing resolution that defunds Obamacare. “I used to be able to go through my community and, many of those who have served as long as I have, know what it was like to be proud to be a member of Congress.”
Moran’s dramatic remarks came before the body voted to continue funding the government through the rest of the year while defunding President Obama’s unpopular health care law.
That legislation now heads to the Democratic-controlled Senate, which is not expected to pass a continuing resolution that includes the defunding of the law.
Moran and other Democrats expressed frustration that Republicans continue to try to defund the health care law.
“We know what the government can do,” Moran said. “This bill doesn’t allow the government to do what it can to improve the lives of our people. We need to believe in this government again. We need to do what this Congress is meant to do!”
