Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann sees the attacks of 9/11 and against the U.S. mission in Benghazi as the wrath of God.
The Minnesota congresswoman—who has kept a relatively low profile after barely winning re-election—made the eyebrow-raising remarks at a prayer event arranged by conservatives at the U.S. Capitol to promote a “national Day of Prayer and Fasting.” The remarks were first picked up by Right Wing Watch.
“Our nation has seen judgment not once but twice on September 11 and that’s why we’re going to have ‘9-11 Pray’ on that day,” said Bachmann. “Is there anything better that we can do on that day rather than to humble ourselves and to pray to an almighty God?”
Last year’s attack at the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya left four Americans dead, including U.S. Amb. Christopher Stevens. It occurred 11 years after the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City.
