Michele Bachmann (essentially): "God damn America!"

Why does she hate this country so much?



Minnesota Congresswoman and former Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann has been conspicuously silent since her nail-biter of a congressional re-election, but was back at her sound bite machine ways this week, calling 9/11 and the Benghazi consulate attacks “judgments from God.”

Bachmann spoke at a D.C. prayer event named “Washington: A Man of Prayer,” linking the tragedies of 9/11 and Benghazi to the hand of the almighty.


“It’s no secret that our nation may very well be experiencing the hand of judgment,” Bachmann espoused. “Our nation has seen judgment, not once but twice, on September 11th.” She went on tell the audience that there is no better way to spend 9/11 than to “humble ourselves” and “pray to an almighty God,” calling for a 9/11 prayer day.

This isn’t the first time Bachmann has used her political perch to share religious beliefs, as back in 2011, she surmised that Hurricane Irene and recent earthquakes were really an angry message from God warning, “Are you going to start listening to me here?”

These people have been calling for the damnation of America for a long time, but when they hear someone else doing a similar prophet routine, they get upset.
