Texas Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer was the mysterious lawmaker that shouted baby killer during Rep. Bart Stupaks (D-Mich.) floor speech Sunday night, his office said Monday.
Rumors that Neugebauer was the yeller began swirling Sunday night, after several lawmaker surmised that the scream was tinted with a southern accent.
Last night was the climax of weeks and months of debate on a health care bill that my constituents fear and do not support, Neugebauer said in a news release. In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase its a baby killer in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership. While I remain heartbroken over the passage of this bill and the tragic consequences it will have for the unborn, I deeply regret that my actions were mistakenly interpreted as a direct reference to Congressman Stupak himself.
Neuegebauers scream was only part of Sundays mayhem in the Capitol. Tea party protesters screamed outside the Capitol, Republicans applauded when a man was carried out of the House gallery and then there was Neugebauers scream.
Neugebauer represents one of the most conservative districts in America an area that stretches from the New Mexico border in the west to the central part of the state. He is in his third full term.
Perhaps most notably, Neugebauer was a co-sponsor to a March 2009 House resolution that wouldve required presidential candidates to provide a copy of their birth certificate.
I have apologized to Mr. Stupak and also apologize to my colleagues for the manner in which I expressed my disappointment about the bill, he said in a statement. The House Chamber is a place of decorum and respect. The timing and tone of my comment last night was inappropriate."

What a lie to cover his sorry ass. When has anyone ever used the phrase "it's a baby killer". The tapes indicate otherwise
He is a disgrace to his office and should be reprimanded
