Rep. Michele Bachmann’s Wackiest Moments

“False Imprisonment” by Lesbians


Shortly after sponsoring an amendment to ban same-sex marriage in April 2005, Bachmann attended a meeting at a community center in Scandia, Minnesota. At a certain point, witnesses heard a series of “piercing screams” before witnessing the congresswoman emerge from the restroom “in a crouching run” while crying, “I was being held against my will!” Bachmann filed a report with the county sheriff about two women “believed to be part of a LGBT group.” According to the report:

Bachmann said both women stood in front of the bathroom door and then one woman put her hand on top of the door and her other hand on the door handle and leaned her body weight toward the door to hold it shut. The other woman put her hand on the door as well. … was absolutely terrified and has never been that terrorized before as she had no idea what those two women were going to do to her.

The women in question denied holding the door shut and said they were merely chatting with their local senator while waiting in line. Bachmann’s complaint was eventually dismissed.

1. I don't think her reality and ours intersect very often. If ever.

3. Forget about the "moments"...
... the more I see and hear of Bachmann, her entire life seems deranged.
