Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) isn’t sure who’s going to miss her more: House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) or his Democratic counterpart, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

During a speech at the Values Voter Summit on Friday Bachmann said over the last eight years she stuck to her conservative principles based on the founding principles of the country. Bachmann is not running for re-election.

“I kept the faith during these last few years,” Bachmann said during a speech delivered at the Values Voter Summit on Friday. “That’s why I don’t know whether Nancy Pelosi is going to miss me more or John Boehner.”

More than the other speeches that came before her at the summit, Bachmann repeatedly attacked former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She also suggested that she planned to try and stay in the public spotlight after she retired from Congress.

“And while it’s true that I’m leaving Congress, I want you to know I’m not leaving the fight,” Bachmann said.
