Texas Rep. Apologizes For “Baby Killer” Outburst

Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 23 March 2010 5:53 AM

The US Representative from Texas who yelled “baby killer” during the final, tense moments of the health care debate has apologized reports the Dallas Morning News. Sort of. Rep. Randy Neugebauer told a local TV station he tried to represent the “intensity of the American people” with his comment and that he “still believe[s] that that Senate bill is a baby-killing bill.” After being chastised by the White House for his outburst, Neugebauer called his Democratic colleague in the House, Rep. Bart Stupak, who many thought the comment was aimed at, to apologize. The Morning News says it’s unlikely that Neugebauer will face any consequences “because the comments reflect the passions of his constituents.” The Texas representative also made the news last year when he backed the “birther bill” and was called the “Worst Person in the World” by Keith Olbermann.
