Why Michele Bachmann Is Wrong About Israel and America

Michele Bachmann, who calls herself a “constitutional conservative,” is a US congressional representative who recently announced that she’s a presidential candidate. In a recent video presentation, she stresses her “love” for Israel, and says that US support for the Zionist state is “critical” for America. Her views on Israel, American “exceptionalism” and US foreign policy are shared by many Americans, especially those who call themselves conservative, and by most high-ranking US politicians. In this broadcast, Weber takes a close look at these views, and why they grossly distort historical reality, are dangerously misleading, and betray the very principles she claims to uphold.
