STFU Michele Bachmann |
Mrs. Bachmann, please STFU. |
GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann isn’t shy about her desire to build wall on the U.S.-Mexico border fence. She even said the other day that she wants a “double-walled border” fence.
So when Bachmann was in San Francisco Thursday we — and the Shaky Hands Productions — crew asked her how she could consider herself a fiscal conservative who wants to slim down government when she advocates building a wall that is costing $21 million a MILE to build and $6.5 BIlLION more to maintain over 20 years.
(No, the Bachmann handlers didn’t physically block me or the Shaky Hand — as they did in Iowa – but they did cut me off when I asked the dreaded follow-up question: What is the source of the statistic you just cited?)
