Which Republican Yelled “Baby-Killer” At Congressman Stupak?
UPDATED…See the loud-mouth here.
I find it amusing that the Republican Congressman who shouted the term “baby-killer” at Congressman Stupak Sunday night on the floor of the House Of Representatives does not have the faith of his convictions to stand and announce who he is. We have a term for guys likes that. (It is also a term not to be screamed on the House floor.)
Rep. John Campbell (R-Calif.) acknowledged late Sunday night that a Republican yelled “baby killer” as Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) urged his fellow Democrats to vote down a Republican amendment on abortion services in the health-care legislation.
The remark drew immediate shouts of derision from the Democratic side of the aisle, as Stupak is considered the leading anti-abortion Democrat and held out his support for the legislation until President Obama issued an executive order restating the ban on federal funding of abortion.
Campbell, initially suspected as the lawmaker who shouted the phrase, told reporters that he didn’t say it and believed that it came from a member sitting a row behind him, where the Texas Republicans usually sit. Campbell said he heard “a Southern accent”.
“The people who know won’t give it up,” Campbell told reporters.
He said the remark was “clear as a bell.”
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) said he heard the remark and said it did come from in the area of where the Texas and California delegations sit. He said he believes he knows who yelled it, but declined to say anymore.
“I can make a guess,” Barton said.
