Michele Bachmann already is the current queen of gaffs and public mistakes. So it’s not that hard to imagine her talking like such a fool in this latest Bad Lip Reading bit.
This video has gone viral on many blogs as people thought the Republican presidential candidate asked, “Who likes white people?” It has been corrected as she is really asking, “Who likes wet people?” as it was raining. Read more on BoingBoing, Towleroad, and JoeMyGod.
The first video is edited. Here is the full speech.
Michele Bachmann is running for president in 2012 as a Republican. What many people may not know is she and her husband own a clinic that ‘prays the gay away’. Young LGBT people are sent to this clinic to be ‘fixed’. Marcus Bachmann even said on a television interview that, ‘barbarians need to be educated,’ referring to gay people as barbarians.
As a form a protest, a group of LGBT supporters dressed as barbarians and ‘stormed’ the clinic. When they found the Bachmanns weren’ t there, they just glittered the place and acted like barbarians.
It’s not really fair to come down on anyone who mispronounces a word that is not their first language, and it’s certainly not a reason to be for or against a politician. But this video is becoming more popular and is just funny how badly she butchers the word. The video is featured on Gawker.
Michele Bachmann is the Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota running for the 2012 presidency. Kathy Griffin is a crude, famously liberal comedian. “When Kathy Griffin met Michele Bachmann” sounds like the intro to a joke, but it really happened. Here, let Kathy tell the story. The video is featured on IHeartChaos and Jezebel.
