Michele Bachmann Really Wants to Become Our Generation’s Joseph McCarthy
Michele Bachmann’s been a busy bee this summer, what with writing a 16-page letter detailing her two-part paranoid fantasy that the Muslim Brotherhood has penetrated the highest offices of the U.S. government and that she, after a failed primary bid for the presidency, is still a relevant figure in the national political landscape. The letter is a response to Minnesota lawmaker Rep. Keith Ellison’s call for Bachmann to provide evidence for her earlier accusation that that Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner, was a terrorist sympathizer.
