Apparently THIS is what the HECKLER yelled at tonight's GOP debate
What’d He Say? Debate Heckler On Booed Orlando Soldier

Tempers flared on stage at tonight’s Bloomberg/Washington Post debate, as GOP rivals bashed each other’s economic policies. But it was Rick Santorum’s remark about fathers taking responsibility for their children that resulted in an outcry from a young man in the crowd.

A stage audience member tells ABC News, “A guy stood up and he yelled, ‘Why didn’t you guys say anything when the gay soldier was booed.’ He was sitting about four rows back facing the stage. Then he yelled the f-word.”

The commotion caused Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, who was next in line to answer a question, to say, “I’m sorry, Charlie. A little distraction.”

SNIP

So far, none of the candidates have addressed tonight’s disruption.

1. I wasn't watching. What happened after?
Did anybody respond to the question, even in the audience? I mean did they boo or applaud or anything. And was it clear what he said (before the f-bomb)?

2. That was all that happened.

Couldn't hear what he said via the TV, the guy was too far away from a microphone.
Could only hear that he was yelling something.
No booing or applauding could be heard.
The debate continued after Bachmann's 'distraction' comment.
