Michele Bachmann is so far right that she makes Richard Nixon and George W. Bush look like liberals, and told voters late Sunday to back Democrat Tarryl Clark in the nation's most expensive House race.
Clinton, who made a daylong swing through Michigan and Minnesota to stump for Democratic candidates, told about 500 supporters in the Minneapolis suburb of Blaine that Bachmann – who has raised $11 million this election cycle – was too extreme for the state.
The congresswoman, a tea party favorite, and the conservative strain she represents make "Richard Nixon look like a member of the Students for a Democratic Society. They make Newt Gingrich and George Bush look like garden-variety liberals, and we're laughing, but just think about this," Clinton said.
Clinton said great GOP presidents including Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower would vote for Clark, a state senator trying to unseat Bachmann in Minnesota's most conservative district.
