Bachmann Accuses Holder of Putting Guns into the Hands of 'Mexican Terrorists' to Take Away Americans' 2nd Amendment Rights

Fox is always terrible when it comes to letting little Joe McCarthy Jr. Bachmann run amok with wild accusations against the Obama administration, but this one with Uma Pemmaraju from this Saturday's America's News Headquarters was particularly awful. Bachmann is now calling the Mexican drug cartels "terrorists." She's pretending that Republicans have an ounce of concern for gun control or that the problem with the guns showing up in Mexico is not something they and the NRA have created themselves with terribly weak gun control laws.

BACHMANN: It has to because no man is above the law. It doesn't matter if you're a janitor in a church basement or if you're the President of the United States. All of us have to be under the law and the same is true for Eric Holder. Eric Holder's problem is that he got found out, pure and simple. He got found out.
He was running a political program and putting thousands of dangerous guns in the hands of terrorists in Mexico for the purpose of trying to take away our 2nd Amendment rights from us. That trap got sprung and everyone found out that Eric Holder was associated with it. And so now he's not going to give any answers to Congress. He can't do that.
And the President of the United States is pulling the same thing. He's asserting executive privilege. Well, the President isn't above the law either. This is a very real issue. This isn't political. This is legal and it looks like Eric Holder is in major trouble and unfortunately President Obama is trying to cover him on this. This is a serious, serious crime that appears to have taken place, or a serious issue I should say, and it's something that needs to be addressed.
