Michele Bachmann: 'Obama will be running the country if Joe Biden is elected'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

During an appearance on the Olive Tree Ministries radio show with host Jan Markell, former Minnesota GOP congresswoman Michele Bachmann warned listeners about the prospect of a Joe Biden presidency and floated a conspiracy theory about who’d be really running the country is Biden is elected.

“It is my opinion that Joe Biden will not be the admining president in the sense that we think of a president,” Bachmann said in an audio clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. “He’ll be a figurehead and this will become Barack Obama’s third term.”

“The entire Obama team will be onboard with their fellow travelers and they will be running the country, so in effect, the country will be run by a team — team Obama.”

“I don’t believe that the big decisions will actually be made by Joe Biden,” she added.

Sounds good to me.

1. Even if that were true, I don't see the problem.

[still_one]

7. +++

[dflprincess]

10. My thought as well.

[forgotmylogin]

36. We had President Dick Cheney for eight years pretty much...

so...

[GoCubsGo]

69. Yep. Fine with me, too.

Not that I believe anything that nutbag says for even a minute.

[get the red out]

76. A problem for

She looks at the two of them and one is black and the other is white.

[Ohiogal]

78. Said as if it's a bad thing.

??

[Pacifist Patriot]

96. Exactly

[Cha]

2. LOL@the fucking Gaslighting of bachman.

[herding cats]

3. That would definitely work for me.

Doesn't she know how popular he is with Dem voters?

[wnylib]

48. She wasn't speaking to Dem voters.

Her comments were aimed at racists in order to stir up the R base. "Oh no. The black boogeyman again!"

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. That should bring more votes in for Joe.

[Takket]

5. Isn't it traditional to offer scenarios that make people LESS inclined to vote

For your opponent?

Why is she offering us a damn good reason to vote for Biden?

[True Blue American]

82. :)

[crickets]

6. "fellow travelers" is a dogwhistle for "Commies" - laying it on a little thick there. nt

[mahina]

14. Oops, I should have read the thread.

Great minds?

[crickets]

91. Absolutely.

[mitch96]

22. Just learned something. Never heard the term.... tnx!!

[Vogon_Glory]

8. Better Obama than any current Republicans

The truth has become apparent outside RWNJ circles: the Republican Party is no longer capable of governing honestly or competently. The last Republicans who could come close are either very old or very dead. President Obama’s two terms were bookended by two disastrously incompetent Republican presidential administrations.

[Skittles]

9. that's like warning about taco trucks on every corner

sounds GREAT to me

[marble falls]

11. Either way we win.

[Hoyt]

12. I'm sure he'll be a trusted advisor, but I'm OK with that.

[mahina]

13. Fellow travelers. Dog whistle.

Go fuck yourself Michelle

[Journeyman]

15. My hope is Biden asks Obama to be his Secretary of State . . .

I can't think of anyone else in the country who could mend our tattered relations with the world faster than Barack Obama.

[forgotmylogin]

37. And then hopefully move him to Supreme Court Justice.

(If Obama wants it.)

[True Blue American]

83. Us!

[captain queeg]

16. Is she still talking? Is anyone listening? Just go away.

[MoonchildCA]

17. Oops. Meant for the OP.

Sorry.

[Doreen]

18. There's a problem with that???

[MoonchildCA]

19. If only...

[oasis]

20. To whomever recruited the dunce, Bachmann to "help" in Trump's re-election:

Clean out your desk, you're fired.

[GoCubsGo]

70. She's too stupid to understand just how much this helps Biden.

It's going to bring out the Obama voters in droves. Apparently, she is totally oblivious as to how much he is missed by everyone other than the 30% of the country that are braindead and bigoted like her.

[oasis]

85. Has-been Bachmann felt compelled to pop out from under a rock

to register a worthless two cents. Pathetic fail.

[niyad]

21. What is that annoying screeching sound?? Oh, it'only that lunatic Bachman. She's still alive?

Note to mb: nobody with two arcing brain cells gives ah flying fig about your "opinions", you pathetic imitation of a human being.

[ibegurpard]

23. If that's the absolute worst that could happen

I'll take it

[safeinOhio]

24. Make a great ad for Biden.

Video of her saying that and then a screen shot of this.

Are you better off today than four years ago?

[SunSeeker]

25. And why would that be a problem?

[colorado_ufo]

26. OK. What's your point?

[Laffy Kat]

27. I'm ok with that.

[UCmeNdc]

28. Yes let's bring back the good old days! Smile

[murielm99]

29. Thinly veiled racism.

[area51]

94. +1 n/t

[luvallpeeps]

30. Oh the humanity!

Imagine having a competent president running the show! Next thing you know, Obama will help the Governors with testing, ppe and ventilators (red state or blue state Chris Christie)! Oh how much better it would be if we were dealing with this pandemic without our kids on our insurance until they're 26? We don't need thoughtful, kind, intelligent people running our government! All we need is God, guns, and fear!

[DanieRains]

31. Pleeeeeeease

make it so.

[Hamlette]

32. what a bitchy thing to say

She's a bitch. And I don't care if she's right about this.

[Harker]

33. Have another corndog. n/t

[Squidly]

58. Hahaha

That was such a classic pic!!

[Harker]

59. Yep. We got a lot of mileage

out of it.

[Vdizzle]

34. That's a feature, not a bug.

[canetoad]

35. What would be worse?

Trump's had three and a half years to prove his incompetence. Joe can call up some of the best minds in the country.

[SouthernCal_Dem]

38. Cool

I’ll take it.

[Retrograde]

39. Sounds good to me (n/t)

[luvallpeeps]

40. Maybe Bloomberg is paying her!

He did say he was gonna support the dem candidates.

[relayerbob]

41. Can someone just send her to the re-education camp now?

[AllyCat]

42. Is that supposed to scare us?

[denbot]

43. Cough, "Putin" Cough..

[mwb970]

44. And this would be bad? "Bad" would be YOU running anything, Michele.

[struggle4progress]

45. More evidence America needs better access to affordable mental health care

[Yavin4]

46. I hope Biden turns to Obama, Bill, Hillary, Al Gore, John Kerry, and every other Dem in the country

for help. He's going to need an Avengers-style team up of Dems to get this country, and the world, back on its feet.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

47. I'm sure others here remember when JFK was running for election ...

The GOPer cry across the land then was that "The Pope" would be running the country from the Vatican.

Bachmann is blowing the latest dog-whistle to see if the deplorables start foaming at the mouth.

[UncleNoel]

90. I remember well. I was one of them at that time. My conversion came with Vietnam...

and I became an anti-war activist and am a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama. Worked with ACLC, Virginia and Clifford Durr, did research for Morris Dees in the early days of his efforts, wrote a speech for Julian Bond that he gave supporting the National Democratic Party of Alabama challenge to the regular Democratic Party of Alabama at the Miami Convention, and was the campaign manager for a Black candidate for congress, Richard Boone.

People did believe that a Cathoic would be beholden to the Pope. I don't think they will float this one against Biden though. Lol!

[NBachers]

49. I hope Joe and Dr. Jill have Barack and Michelle front dead center at the Inauguration.

[OnDoutside]

51. I'd say they're only itching to get out on the campaign trail !

[grantcart]

50. Pls proceed Mrs. Bachmann

[AlexSFCA]

52. that would be a dream come true

[TexasTowelie]

53. We could do far worse,

particularly when we keep in mind that Michele Bachmann was once a presidential candidate.

[keithbvadu2]

54. Yet she is ok with Putin running our country now through Agent Orange.

[Progressive Jones]

55. That's right, Michele. His first order of business will be to round up

all the crazy white women from Minnesota named Michele Bachmann,
and send them to socialist re-education camps.

[budkin]

56. Sweet!

Fired up! Ready to go!

[Mike Nelson]

57. In one way...

... she's correct. "Obama team" will be back... however, I doubt there will be much of a role for Obama, himself. He will be an adviser, as ex-Presidents normally are... but Presidents make their own "big decisions." Still, it will be nice to have many of Crooked Donald's allies out of government!

[onetexan]

60. The ignorance is strong in this one.

[Norbert]

61. Is this the best che can do

[shockey80]

62. Thank you for the good news, Ding Bat.

[DFW]

63. She has the intellect of a garden slug. We should be so lucky as to have Barack Obama's third term!

Biden will talk to Obama because he's NOT an idiot. But he'll run his own show with his own people, and I'll let you all in on some secret information: he will not be changing his staff at the rate on one every sixteen hours.

On the other hand, this quote does raise a serious question:

WHY THE HELL IS ANYONE LISTENING TO ANYTHING BACHMANN SAYS????

[musicblind]

64. I don't see the downside here? n/t

[Jamastiene]

65. I fucking wish. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

66. Somebody Who Says Something Something...

I missed something I think. I nodded off when I read Michelle Bachmann.

[Walleye]

67. Yes. Let us be America again!

[mercuryblues]

68. Sounds like she is jealous

[Chainfire]

71. Personally,

I would be far happier knowing that Obama was pulling Biden's strings, than not knowing who is pulling Trump's.

[beachbumbob]

72. those are great words for the people of America to hear for sure

[Paladin]

73. Promise? (nt)

[patricia92243]

74. Is that a happy promise?

[ck4829]

75. OK

[tavernier]

77. No. Obama is an American, first and foremost.

He will follow the rules of our Constitution.

[tanyev]

79. Win-Win!

[Botany]

80. And this is bad how?

Hey Michele watch out for this attack dog

[Laelth]

81. Well, that's a new one.

I wouldn’t mind, per se, but it will be President Biden’s prerogative.

-Laelth

[duforsure]

84. We could only hope he is,

He handled the Ebola outbreak correctly, saved us from a depression, saved the financial situation from getting worse, saved the auto industry which republicans were against, and no one convicted or charged with corruption from self dealings or insider trading. I would also be confident he was working for the people, not for himself at all times. He also believed in the truth and science.

[JustAnotherGen]

86. Ha

Go away you miserable piece of shit! Guess haters are gonna hate

[live love laugh]

87. From 1993 rape allegations to this fodder.

They are testing of course but I’m sure Cult45 will buy into this.

[RhodeIslandOne]

88. What's the problem again?

[UncleNoel]

89. They had better not float this one.People will love it. I like the Biden/Obama Team.

Not for the ticket, but for the sage and steady restoration of our nation.

[Wounded Bear]

92. She says that like it's a bad thing...

[FoxNewsSucks]

93. Like anyone gives a damn what she thinks

[Gothmog]

95. This is a great reason to vote for Joe

[Flaleftist]

97. YAY! LET'S DO THIS!!!

[Azathoth]

98. Why is Bachmann campaigning for Joe? nt
