Rep. Michele Bachmann railed against the Democrats' "gangster government" at a Tea Party rally last week. Former President Bill Clinton pushed back by saying, "The were elected. They are not doing anything they were not elected to do."
Fox News contributor Brit Hume was quick to defend Bachmann Sunday. Hume said Bachmann was simply talking about "defeating them at the polls. What's wrong with that?"

Trump-supporting conspiracy theorist Alex Jones confessed to a filmmaker in 2019 that he was secretly sick and tired of dealing with former President Donald Trump.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hate Watch blog, filmmaker Caolan Robertson caught Jones disparaging Trump after Jones had hired him to help shoot a propaganda movie called "You Can't Watch This."
Writing for the Washington Post this Tuesday, Greg Sargent contends that the GOP's insistence on scaring its base with claims of an encroaching leftist takeover actually provides Democrats with a big opening.
Sargent cites a New York Times report that details how Democrats are trying to get a far-reaching infrastructure repair agenda to become law, and says the coming debate "may be uniquely positioned to expose Trumpism's bankruptcy as it sinks into QAnon-ification, cultishness, and mythologizing about the Lost Cause of the stolen election."
Fox News on Tuesday announced that the conservative network has hired former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
Fox News host Harris Faulkner made the announcement during what was billed a McEnany's first interview since President Joe Biden took office.
