Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on Sean Hannity’s radio show, where she responded to the infamous “Hate-F___” article in Playboy — which has since been removed from the magazine’s site — in which author Guy Cimbalo listed prominent conservative women he despised but found sexually attractive.

Bachmann was on the list, along with Megyn Kelly, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Dana Perino and others.

“I think it’s just disgusting and shocking. I can hardly believe it,” said Bachmann. “I mean, I’m a mother of five kids, I’m a foster mom to 23 kids.” She added: “They’re the side that’s supposed to be all about peace and tolerance, and ‘we believe in rational discord.’ And to be put on a list like that I think is just unthinkable.”

Hannity transitioned out of this subject. “Well first of all, you have become literally the poster child to be attacked by the left. Have you noticed?” he said.

“I — yes I have!” Bachmann responded, laughing. “It hasn’t escaped me, that’s for sure. I take that as a badge of honor. Apparently I must be doing something right.”
