Michele Bachmann visiting Purcellville

Friday, Feb. 22, 2013 by Alanna Dvorak

Michele Bachmann will be kicking off Patrick Henry College's second Newsmakers Interview Series of the semester.

Bachmann's visit to Purcellville school is scheduled for Feb. 25 at 12:40 p.m. at the Barbara Hodel Center coffeehouse. Bachmann will field questions from both host Marvin Olasky and audience members. People who are unable to attend can watch the interviews webcast live at phc.edu and can also tweet questions to @patrickhenrycol.

A former Republican candidate for president, Bachmann has served in the U.S. House of Representatives as representative from Minnesota since 2007. Prior to taking federal office, she served in the Minnesota state senate.

1. Patrick Henry College

Just FYI, the above mentioned college is one of at least three extreme right-wing higher education institutions in Virginia. The others are Liberty University (Jerry Falwell's baby) and Regent University aka Pat Robertson U. Patrick Henry caters to the ultra-right and particularly homeschoolers. Unless some outsiders show up, Michele will be lionized and fawned over by the Patrick Henry students and staff.
