Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., left, and Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, right, vocal conservatives in the GOP challenge to President Obama's immigration order, speak with reporters at the Capitol as the House Republican leadership works to muster votes for final passage of the omnibus spending bill to fund the government, in Washington, Thursday, Dec. 11, 2014. Earlier in the day, conservatives sought to torpedo the measure because it would leave Obama's immigration policy unchallenged, but Speaker John Boehner patrolled the noisy, crowded House floor looking for enough GOP converts to keep it afloat.

Former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) expressed a mixture of condemnation and appreciation toward President Barack Obama for, in her words, bringing the world to end times.

“We need to cry out to a Holy God,” Bachmann said on Jan Markell’s “Understanding the Times” radio show over the weekend. “This is coming faster than anyone can see.”

“Barack Obama is intent, it is his number one goal, to ensure that Iran has a nuclear weapon,” she said. “Why? Why would you put the nuclear weapon in the hands of madmen who are Islamic radicals?”

Bachmann, however, then seemed to approve of the President moving mankind into “the midnight hour.”

“We get to be living in the most exciting time in history,” she said, urging fellow Christians to “rejoice.”

“Jesus Christ is coming back. We, in our lifetimes potentially, could see Jesus Christ returning to Earth, the Rapture of the Church.”

“These are wonderful times,” she concluded.

Bachmann made similar remarks on Markell’s show last week.

“We have very little time, in my opinion, left before the second return of Christ. That’s good news.”

  1. People like her need to be involuntarily committed.

  2. PLEASE STOP REPORTING WHATEVER THIS FUCKING LOON SAYS. YOU ARE GIVING HER A LEGITMACY THAT SHE DOES NOT DESERVE.

  3. No, Dearie, you’re confusing the Apocralypse with the Apocalypse. I know, it’s easy to do, but honestly, it’s time to stop reading and worshiping that book and actually try something more real.

  4. Is this a US-only rapture - or is ROW included ?

  5. Nuclear weapons in the hands of people like Bachmann scare me most of all. They have a strange fascination with the rapture and end of the world. Having access to nuclear weapons gives them the opportunity to make it happen.
