JANE SCHMIDT: One of my main concerns is government support for the interracial community. So my question is what would you do to support the interracial community.
BACHMANN: Well, No. 1, all of us as Americans have the same rights. The same civil rights. And so that's really what government's role is, to protect our civil rights. There shouldn't be any special rights or special set of criteria based upon people's preferences. We all have the same civil rights.
JANE SCHMIDT: Then, why can't interracial couples get married?
BACHMANN: They can get married, but they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a white person if they’re a white person. Or they can marry a black person if they're a black person.
JANE SCHMIDT: Why can't a white person marry a black person?
BACHMANN: Because that's not the law of the land.
JANE SCHMIDT: So same-race couples have a privilege.
BACHMANN: No, they have the same opportunity under the law. There is no right to interracial marriage.
JANE SCHMIDT: So you won't support the interracial community?
BACHMANN: No, I said that there are no special rights for people based upon your race. There's no special rights based upon what race you are. You're an American citizen first and foremost and that's it.
ELLA NEWELL, a junior at Waverly High School: Wouldn't same-race couples, if they were given a privilege then, that interracial couples aren't, like given that privilege to get married, but same-race couples are given a privilege to get married?
BACHMANN: Remember every American citizen has the right to avail themselves to marriage but they have to follow what the laws are. And the laws are you marry a person of the same race.
Problem is, almost all dems and now most repubs, know beyond all doubt that this women is a temporary blot on any affiliation with the repub party and it may be them who finally tells her to go away and back to congress where being so fucking crazy won't hurt the country as much. Still will, but not as much.
