Michele Bachmann is lying again. During Thursday night’s GOP debate in Iowa, Bachmann told Newt Gingrich that PolitiFact “came out and said that everything I said was true.” Politifact has responded, stating, “Actually, she earned a Pants on Fire” at the last debate. They add:
Bachmann said, “After the debate that we had last week, PolitiFact came out and said that everything I said was true.”
But in fact, Bachmann earned two ratings from us at that debate, a Mostly True for her claim that Newt Gingrich advocated for the individual mandate in health care and a Pants on Fire for her claim that Mitt Romney set up a health plan in Massachusetts that is “socialized medicine.”
How many lies does Michele Bachmann need to tell before people stop listening to her, and before people stop voting for her?
Earlier this month, Michele Bachmann said she would, if president, ensure judges stopped telling people wheat the laws are. Seriously.
Bachmann this month also said that gay marriage was merely a “sex practice,” denigrating the often decades-long relationships of hundreds of thousands of same-sex couples.
