Michele Bachmann discusses Twitter threats, Limbaugh and foster children

On Starting Point to talk about their bipartisan effort to help America’s foster children, Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) respond to the Rush Limbaugh controversy and Bachmann discusses personal threats.

Bachmann says, “… I think when you see the overkill that’s being done against Rush Limbaugh and then you see the comments that were said about me and absolutely no response whatsoever, there’s no comparison here.”

She adds, “So, why is it that there is outrage when it is an issue on the left, but there’s zero outrage on the right. To me, it doesn’t matter whether a woman is a Republican or democrat or whether she’s liberal or conservative. This sort of violent talk should not be acceptable for anyone.”

Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien airs week mornings from 7-9am ET on CNN.
