We may be able to scratch one more suspect off the list of potential culprits: Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) says he’s not the Republican who shouted “baby killer” at Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), during a debate about abortion on the House floor last night.
“I have no idea who yelled it because they were seated behind me and the House was packed,” Gohmert said, according to the Lufkin Daily News. “Whoever said it was obviously upset, but it was inappropriate for them to yell that.”
Gohmert sits in the same area where the taunt is reported to have emerged, and has a distinctive Texan accent, as Rep. John Campbell (R-CA) says the culprit had. In fact, a number of readers emailed TPM after the incident, certain, based on the accent, that it was Gohmert. He says that’s not so.
