Michele Bachmann called a recent run-in with an 8-year-old at a bookstore “reprehensible.” The young boy told Bachmann his gay mother “didn’t need fixing.”

Bachmann, in an interview with CNN’s John King, said: “He obviously didn’t want to say what he was put up to say, and I just think it’s reprehensible when someone uses a little child to advance a political agenda.”
