Michelle Bachmann: Trump Sexism Accusations Are ‘Nonsense’

Michelle Bachmann tonight dismissed accusations of sexism against Donald Trump and called them “nonsense.”

After Media Matters’ David Brock challenged the former Republican congresswoman to stand up for women against Trump’s remarks about women like Carly Fiorina, Bachmann said, “The main thing that really, honestly, the voters are thinking about are the 54 million women of working age who aren’t in the workforce today because there aren’t jobs out there for them.”

When Don Lemon asked her if, then, Trump’s remarks are ‘superfluous,” Bachmann said, “[I’m] the only woman here on set right now, and I can tell you what women want is a sense of security.”
