Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann Friday evening hit the late-night comedy circuit with an look on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
“If you become president — and you appear pretty strident in your views…,” Jay Leno said, before Bachmann interrupted him.
“Convicted. I’m convicted,” she said.
“Convicted?” Leno replied. “No, you don’t get convicted till when you’re in workplace. That’s later. you've got to urge elected 1st.”
Leno asked the Minnesota congresswoman regarding Monday’s GOP dialogue when she ripped rival Rick Perry for his govt order requiring young ladies to receive inoculations against a sexually-transmitted disease that may cause cervical cancer and then later urged that the vaccine might cause mental retardation.
“I wasn’t speaking as a doctor,” Bachmann said. “I wasn’t speaking as a scientist. i used to be simply relating what this girl said. She came up and — I wasn’t soliciting that info, she gave it to me. however the larger issue in all this was the abuse of govt privilege and conjointly simply the affiliation of crony capitalism if you've got a political donor that's giving to you and an action is taken by a government official that would probably profit that donor, that’s very the problem without delay. That’s what individuals are worried regarding.”
Asked regarding her family’s Christian counseling clinic and if they struggle to form homosexuals “pray away the gay,” Bachmann pointed to her hair and joked, “When I heard that i actually thought it had been like quite a mid-life crisis line, like, ‘Pray away the grey.’”
But sadly for her, the joke fell flat with the audience not laughing in the least.
Later within the usually awkward interview, Leno asked Bachmann who she would choose as her running mate and he or she said,
“You’re taken. You don’t desire a cut in pay.” To that he replied, “Well, we’d most likely have an argument over the gay factor.”
Also Bachmann described the Tea Party as a bunch that stands for “pretty mainstream stuff.” And when asked regarding Rick Perry’s surge up the polls since he entered the race at identical time as she won the Iowa straw poll last month, Bachmann stated, “We’re in for the marathon. We’re not in it for the sprint.”
