Also this incident I saw on wiki, I don't think the ranger will get an apology anytime soon.
"Baby Killer" remark
On March 21, 2010, during the debate in the House of Representatives of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Neugebauer yelled out "Baby killer!"[6] The remark was believed to have been directed at Representative Bart Stupak of Michigan, a leader of the anti-abortion Democrats in the House, who was discussing a motion filed by the Republicans. While immediate inquiries began to determine who shouted the words, more than 12 hours later, on March 22, 2010, Neugebauer publicly identified himself as the person, apologized for the incident and argued that his words were "It's a baby killer", referring to the bill, not Stupak himself.[7][8] However, reporters and others in the room insisted Neugebauer precisely shouted Baby killer!", referring to Stupak.[9] Stupak said that he does not buy Neugebauers description of the outburst, said his words were very clear, and believes Neugebauer should apologize for his remark on the floor of the US House.[10][11] In contrast to Neugebauer's "baby killer" comment, Stupak and the Politifact watchdog group agree, "there will be no public funding of abortion in this legislation" that Neugebauer detests.[12]
