Bart Stupak Wants 'Baby Killer' Shouter To Apologize On House Floor (VIDEO)

[jefferson_dem]

In an interview with CBS News on Tuesday, Rep. Bart Stupak called on Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas), the lawmaker who yelled "baby killer" while Stupak was addressing the House on Sunday night, to apologize to the entire chamber -- from the floor.

"Randy did call and apologize and he said it wasn't directed towards me personally," Stupak said. "Well if that's the case then it must have been directed toward the rest of the members of the House, and I would hope that Randy would just clear it up and...say "look I didn't mean to offend anyone and if i did I apologize. That's what he should do and that's what I would expect him to do."

On Monday, Rep. Neugebauer took responsibility for the outburst, suggesting that his shout -- "it's a baby killer" -- was a reference to the entire bill, not to Stupak in particular.

1. Good for him

They need to continue to call the freepers out on their behavior!

2. Are we supposed to accept this framing?

That Neugebauer actually shouted, "It's a baby-killer?" That seems incredibly clumsy; didn't he just call Stupak "baby killer"?

This is implausible deniability--but if neugebauer isn't lying, then he's already apologized.

4. Well

if I'm being honest, and I see no reason for us to be anything but here - what he said is inappropriate and bad enough - and if we insist on something that simply is not true, that's not good for anyone -

but what I heard? "THIS is a baby-killer."

I listened to it a bunch of times, and - it's hard to find someone who has a greater degree of dislike for folks like Neugebauer than I hold, but that is really what I think he said.

5. I missed that completely. Thanks. n/t

3. My sense is ..that Randy's

a weasel and it would be good for him to apologize on the Floor.

6. At the very least. nt

7. Stupak is right....Neugebauer insulted all the Dem House members that voted for the bill.

Make him get up and be a big boy.
