Michele Bachmann Is Wondering if God Thinks She Should Run for Al Franken’s Senate Seat
‘I Trust in a Big God’: Bachmann Had Said God Told Her to Run for President in 2012
Former Minnesota congresswoman and current “pastor to the United Nations†Michele Bachmann joined End Times prepper pastor Jim Bakker for a series of television programs that aired last week, during which she revealed that she is currently considering making a run for the U.S. Senate seat that is set to be vacated by Al Franken.
On last Wednesday’s show, Bachmann said that she has “had people contact me and urge me to run for that Senate seat†and that she is asking God if doing so is His will for her.
Bachmann said that she would be willing to run in order to take godly principles into the Senate but is concerned that she will be unfairly attacked by Washington insiders because “the swamp is so toxic.â€
“I trust in a big God,†Bachmann said, asserting that she “was supposed to run for president†in 2012 in order to make the the repeal of Obamacare the central issue of the Republican platform. “I feel like I was wildly successful … I didn’t win, but I moved the debate. So I didn’t shed a tear when I left the contest because I felt like, you know, I fulfilled the calling that God gave me.â€
“So the question is am I being called to do this now?†she added. “I don’t know.â€
Bakker eventually piped in to express his concern about the nasty nature of politics today, saying that “right now, they want to kill the president of the United States and if they could put a contract [out on Donald Trump]—which they probably already have—they would do so.â€
