Bachmann opens a can of Whoop Ass on McCain and starts Muslim take out theories.
Back in June, Molly Ball pointed out that Michele Bachmann seemed to be turning the crazy back up. With a few notable exceptions -- her apparently baseless linkage of vaccines and autism in a debate, for example -- she'd mostly dialed back the wack during her presidential run.
The Minnesota Republican's stunts are often portrayed as humorously buffoonish, but her latest offers a sobering reminder that it's not all an amusing but unimportant sideshow. Last week, she sent a letter to several government agencies arguing that Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (and also Mrs. Anthony Weiner) should not have received security clearance because some of her family members have been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. Bachmann's letter seems to have gotten results. No, not the arrest of any dangerous terrorists. Just threats to the life of a loyal civil servant:
Police and federal officials have placed security around ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, after a New Jersey man threatened her, law-enforcement sources said.
Meanwhile Bachmann came in for harsh words from colleagues in her own party. John McCain, who's fond of bucking Republican orthodoxy, started it off, but GOP leaders soon joined him. Speaker John Boehner called the allegations "pretty dangerous". Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican chair of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, on which Bachmann sits, was reportedly furious as well.
