Remember Michele Bachmann? Sheeeeeeesss...BACK!

Even nuttier than she was when she was in Congress.

Michele Bachmann: Carolina Flooding Is God's Wrath For U.S. Israel Policy

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 10/6/2015 10:30 am

With parts of North and South the Carolina experiencing devastating floods, former Rep. Michele Bachmann is weighing in by suggesting that the flooding is a sign of God’s wrath for President Obama’s foreign policy. “US turns its back on Israel, disasters following,” she wrote on Twitter: This isn’t the first time the Tea Party icon has blamed natural disasters on President Obama’s foreign policy. Back in April, Bachmann said, “If we actually turn our back on Israel, as we are seeing Barack Obama do today, if that happens then I think we will see a scale and a level of pushback in the United States, negative consequences. I don’t know what they are, but I believe that the Bible is true and I believe that what the Bible says is that our nation and the people of our nation will reap a whirlwind. We could see economic disasters, natural disasters. The United States does not want to be in that position and unfortunately the people put into office Barack Obama, not only once but twice, and the people have to rise up against his actions and demand their leaders take steps accordingly.”

I was toying around with jokingly asking some conservative friends what sins did the very conservative state of South Carolina make to invite God's wrath, and here comes Michele to ruin the whole thing.

Amazing how it's never how we treat the poor and sick that gets God so pissed. Nope, it's always gays and now, how we treat Israel.

Yelling at a guy on a building ledge to "Jump?"

That's what's pitiful. And that has allowed her to think she will always be relevant.

Why not? Makes as much sense as Michele's conclusions.

But that's about it. And the flooding has centered around Columbia rather than Charleston.
