Michele Bachmann

When Michele Bachmann claimed in 2011 that a supporter had been bribed to defect to Ron Paul, observers rolled their eyes. It turns out she was telling the truth.

The evidence shows quite the contrary, not that facts would stop the hate-spewing soon-to-be-former congresswoman.

She’s on her way out of Washington, she’s still championing lost causes so extreme her GOP colleagues won’t even get on board.

Gays are bullying Americans, the congresswoman says. That's not even the wildest claim she's made in the last 12 months.

The Congresswoman from Loonyville says Americans can’t handle a woman in the Oval Office—never mind her own presidential run.

The congresswoman wants to stop the president from using executive orders to advance his agenda without Congress, but she’s backed down every other time she threatened to go to court.

From Steve King to Ted Cruz, the contenders to take over for Bachmann as craziest member of Congress.
