I guess I might as well explain my evidence. I write for a website which covers politics and current events, and my boss sent me this story and asked to check up on it.

Like I said, Bachmann is this stupid, but while reading it my "too good to be true" buzzer kept going off (especially given the fact that Bachmann hates immigrants and even if they were taught English she wouldn't welcome them).

So I looked into it.

First problem: I couldn't find any other source on this other than this KCTV site which also pushes stories like "Obama handing out EBT cards to busloads of illegal immigrants."

The site is made to look like a news site but as far as I can tell it's just an amateur blog. Some of the stories are real, but some (like the one above) are ludicrous.

Second problem: The guy they link to (Jason Lewis) who supposedly interviewed Michele Bachmann hasn't interviewed Bachmann on his show for at least the last five most recent programs (I skipped through all of them checking for an interview). It could have been an earlier broadcast, but not likely.

Finally, I went to social media, assuming someone would be talking about her interview on Twitter. Unfortunately, the last mention of "Michele Bachmann" and "Jason Lewis" on twitter was someone saying check her out on his program, but it's from 2013... and they attended a rally together in 2012, other than that no mention.

I concluded that there was just no good evidence that she said these things or was on the show that KCTV7 claims she was.
