Michele Bachmann: Even My Jews Would say Merry Christmas
ormer Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told a conservative radio host that Donald Trump “gets and understands religious liberty,” the Huffington Post reports.
Bachmann shared an anecdote: “He even said, ‘I don’t understand, when I was growing up, everybody said Merry Christmas. Even my Jews would say Merry Christmas.’ New York City, there are a lot of Jews, and they would even say Merry Christmas. Why can’t we even say Merry Christmas anymore?’”
Bachmann added that Trump had “1950s sensibilities” and “1950s common sense,” and warned that Hillary Clinton would bring “certain destruction” and “catastrophic decline” and a “godless United States that will walk into certain catastrophe.”

But don't worry, your dossier has now been updated and we promise there will be no more lapses in surveillance. 
I cant believe I just typed that. Trump's Jews.
She seems like the one who's about as batshit crazy as he is. 
and I don't mean the proverbial 'when her lips are moving', I mean this:
On many occasions in the past (probably every controversial claim she makes), she'll do a Big Lie - say something SO crazy but with a kernel of truth, and THEN she'll say something like this:
"Short people fart snotsicles. AND I'LL REPEAT THAT: SHORT PEOPLE FART SNOTSICLES." (or "I'll say that again:" or "I mean exactly that:"
Whatever her lie-of-the-day is: say it once, make sure it's outrageous - wait for the reaction (gasps, wide eyes, etc.), then SPEAK UP and say clearly that you are going to repeat yourself, and then repeat yourself, saying the exact same thing, but louder this time.
And here is a journalist who covered her explaining, in a different way than I did, Bachmann's rhetorical schtick:
So, just as I had told the Bachmann spokester I would do, at noon on the second day, I put up a post simply reporting what Bachmann had said without much editorializing and went to lunch, hoping to hear from her later in the day with more explanation.
When I got back to my desk, still no call from Bachmann's office but I learned that my post had been linked to by Drudge, been discussed on Limbaugh, and had generated, in one hour, more traffic than my blog had ever seen in a day.
It kept going. By late afternoon, my friend and colleague Terry Sauer, who monitored the online traffic, sent me a note that said, "Your numbers are approaching Viking-gets-arrested territory."
That afternoon, Bachmann put out a written statement saying: "I am sorry if my words have been misconstrued."

Michelle Bachmann really is the textbook example of the "Drama Queen".
