Former Minnesota congresswoman and current “pastor to the United Nations" Michele Bachmann appeared on the American Pastors Network's "Stand In The Gap" radio program yesterday, where she asserted that George Soros had financed and organized the caravan of Central American migrants that is heading toward the United States, which she claimed it made up almost entirely of "gang-aged males" who are part of MS-13.
"This is completely intentional," Bachmann said. "This is not an accident. This is being done—some reports are George Soros has spent upwards of $20 billion to make this happen ... This is an invasion. This isn't about compassion, this is an invasion of people, it is an attack on the United States border."
Bachmann apparently misspoke when she alleged that Soros had spent $20 billion funding this effort, as she later cited the figure as being $20 million.
"The second they come here, they have a full legal right to free education, to free healthcare," she claimed. "They don't pay for it, we pay for it. When you go to the doctor, you pay for your medical bills; they don't have to."
"The people who are part of this current invasion," Bachmann continued, "over 80 percent are gang-aged males, military-aged males. Many of them are from the extremely dangerous gang called MS-13."
"Those who are globalists, like George Soros, his goal is to see the destruction of the United States because he wants a one-world government," she said. "We need to recognize these are bad actors who want to see this happen and that's why I thank God that Donald Trump is the President of the United States ... If the president stands up and keeps this invading army out, I think he will be rewarded politically by the people in the United States."
"And I believe, Michele, he will be blessed by God as well," responded co-host Gary Dull.
"With illegal immigration, the truth is also coming with it is crime, is theft, is rape, is murder, is drunk driving," Bachmann warned. "This cannot continue to go on. America will never be the same. You will see the fall of the United States and that is why we need to draw a line in the sand."
