The congressional heckler who cried “baby killer” during Rep. Bart Stupak’s speech in favor of health care reform Sunday night has been identified as Rep. Randy Neugebauer, a third-term Republican from Texas. <\/p>\n

The conservative, pro-life Neugebauer identified himself as the heckler in a public statement issued Monday afternoon, but was careful to note that he “exclaimed the phrase ‘it’s a baby killer’ in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership,”<\/em> not Stupak himself.<\/p>\n

The timing and tone of my comment last night was inappropriate.”<\/em><\/p>\n
