Did A House Member Shout 'Baby Killer' At Stupak? (VIDEO)

It sure sounded like it.

The Michigan Democrat was making remarks on the House floor against a GOP effort to blow up the vote on abortion -- an important issue for the pro-life Stupak -- when someone seemed to yell "baby killer."

TPMDC's Christina Bellantoni got a quick interview with Rep. Dale Kildee (D-MI), also a pro-lifer.

Kildee: "We all heard it. It was disgusting!" "No one knows who it was but the person should be censured. This all started when someone yelled "you lie' at the president."

Bellantoni: "You sure it was a member?

Kildee: "Unless they let staff on the floor and make outbursts, yes."

Christina also reports that Rep. Tom Campbell (R-CA) told reporters that the "baby killer" was "clear as a bell."

I didn't look but it came from the floor, behind me and to the left.

And this:

It was close enough I decided not to turn around and look. ... It was in my area. I thought it was a southern accent.

Campbell returned a few moments later and said, "other people agree with me it was someone with a southern accent."

Campbell also said that some of the Republicans on the floor recognized the voice but would not say who it was.

The California Republican then came out again -- a third time -- and told reporters that "that is where the Texans sit. Californians are in one row, Texans sit behind us. I am being told it's a Texan. The people who know won't give it up."

1. Plenty of members of the press are reporting they heard it.

Luke Russert on MSNBC said he heard it.

The question is who said it.
