Fox’s Chris Wallace to Michele Bachmann: ‘Are you a flake?’
Chris Wallace is putting the hammer down. A couple of weeks ago he challenged a Republican on his show that tax increases historically HAVE led to greater economic growth and now he delves a little bit into unmasking Michele Bachmann. OMG! And on Fox News!! Wallace will be purged with the unfaithful!
On “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace quizzed Bachmann on a series of apparent inconsistencies in her legislative record and personal background — from Medicare to government subsidies and earmarks to her opposition to same-sex marriage.
This one is great.
[And he] kept at it, asking Bachmann whether she recognizes that since she is now a presidential candidate she has to be more careful to not say the kind of “flaky things” that have earned her a reputation as a rhetorical loose cannon.
Spoiler alert Chris, that one ain’t gonna happen. But I don’t think you could give her better advice. That, and would she please end her assault on women.
And the coup de grâce, a serious question that everyone with half a brain asks themselves every time she’s in the spotlight.
Then, as he wrapped up the interview, Wallace asked her: “Are you a flake?”
“I think that would be insulting to say something like that because I’m a serious person,” Bachmann retorted.
I’ve got a whole lot of statements that you’ve said Bachmann that would overwhelmingly disagree.
