From factcheck.com........Michelle Bachmann lies..........

Oh my God I can't believe it. Bachmann tries to raise money by lying about who and why her district was redistricted. She says liberal judges did it to punish her for standing up to the President. Onlly 2 of the judges were Democrats (doesn't necessarily make them liberals) and her district is even more repug than it was before.

They sawed off my hometown of Stillwater, where the majority of voters have voted against her in each of her races.

Well, almost all of Stillwater. They did leave her one tiny little sliver. A tiny sliver that includes my house...

She campaigned for the presidency while holding DUAL citizenship. I don't recall any part of the Constitution that allows for this. But then I doubt very much that Bachmann has ever read the Constitution.
