Did Michele Bachmann Rebuff Chris Wallace Apology For ‘Are You A Flake’ Question?
Chris Wallace almost seems to be making as much news as that which he is reporting. During the most recent episode of his Internet-only recap of his Sunday news program Wallace apologized to viewers (and ostensibly Michele Bachmann) for asking the GOP presidential hopeful “are you a flake?” ABC’s Jonathan Karl caught up with Bachmann to discuss asked her straight out if she accepted the Wallace apology. Hard to say that she flat-out refused the apology, but it is fair to say that she refused to address it.
In his words, Wallace “didn’t mean any disrespect,” and was only affording Bachmann the opportunity to address those “out there who do think she’s a flake.” He went on to say that he believed that she answered that question quite well.
But when Karl recently caught up with Bachmann, he asked her straight out if she accepted the apology, to which she replied “well, it’s insulting,” before adding “those are the small issues,” as an aide ushered her away.
Bachmann handled this potential public relations problem like a champ – she did not acquiesce to either the reporter looking to drum up a feud, nor did she allow for Wallace’s question to become the pervading meme from this odd narrative. The take away? Here we are talking about Michele Bachmann on the day that she officially kicks off her presidential campaign, which can only be good news for her.
