Michele Bachmann On The Penn State Scandal: ‘I’d Want To Go Find That Guy And Beat Him To A Pulp’
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann appeared on Meet the Press today, and before addressing last night’s debate or any other political news, David Gregory asked Bachmann to weigh in on the continuing fallout from the Penn State scandal, and if Congress would potentially play a role in investigating the cover-up of sexual abuse by assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
Bachmann thought the investigation should be continued at the state level, but she also took time to address how, as a mother, she was completely mortified at the idea of such a thing being done to young boys.
“The lens that I look at this through is as a mother. I’m a mother of five biological children and 23 foster children, and my heart is, I think is reflective of that of the American people. This is so horrific on the level of a parent. I think about my children, if that was my child, and I think my automatic reaction would be, even though I’m a small woman, I’d want to go find that guy and beat him to a pulp.
I think that’s what any parent would want to do when they think about their child. But clearly, this is very high-profile now, as it should be, and I have no doubt that this will, this level of scrutiny, justice will be done.”
Bachmann also praised the media for covering the scandal so thoroughly.
