Following Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) announcement Wednesday that she will not seek re-election next year, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) took to Twitter to thank the tea party matriarch for her service.
Thanks @michelebachmann for your years of service. A courageous voice for freedom in the people’s House.
