Why reporter asked Michele Bachmann, ‘As president, would you be submissive to your husband?’ Washington Examiner Byron York’s question was booed at the GOP debate and criticized by other journalists for asking the sole female candidate about her marriage. He explains its relevance to her candidacy: On “Meet the Press” Sunday, Iowa straw poll winner Rep. Michele Bachmann was asked to make the case that she has the “judgment and experience” to be president of the United States.
Bachmann listed several qualifications — her work as a tax attorney, small businesswoman, state senator in Minnesota, and member of Congress — but the first thing she said was, “I have a lifetime of experience. I’m 55 years old. I’ve been married 33 years.” Because Bachmann invokes her marital success as proof of her leadership skills, York believed it was relevant to probe this statement she made during her first campaign in 2006: My husband said, now you need to go and get a post-doctorate degree in tax law.
York believes Bachmann will be asked again about being “submissive.” Another magazine stops printing to go online | Media. The magazine march from print to web-only publication continues.
