Michele Bachmann rose to speak on the house floor
against a National Women's History Museum
listen all republican women are pro women
and that all republican men that serve in this congress
are pro women as are the Democrat women and the democrat men unless Congress
a no vote on the current legislation
which I advocate for very simply
is a vote to stand up for the pro-life movement
a vote to stand up for traditional marriage and a vote to stand up for the
traditional family
there already are 20 women's
museums in the United States including one affiliated with the Smithsonian
Museum
and including one right next to the United States Capitol
and so why would we be rebuilding another I rise today an opposition to
this bill
because I believe ultimately this meet museum that will be built
on the National Mall on federal land
will enshrine the radical feminist movement
that stance against the pro-life movement the pro-family movement
and the pro our traditional marriage movement the
already women is admirable is shared by everyone in this chamber
no one disputes that and a few other museums proposed exhibits are worthy
no one disputes that I for one am honored to be
featured in an online exhibit about motherhood that highlights
are 23 foster children and our five biological children
however I am deeply concerned that
any exhibit were the exhibits are clearly the exception
and not the rule a cursory view out the
overall content already listed on the website show was
and overwhelmingly by overwhelming biased toward women
we embrace liberal ideology radical feminism
and fails to paint an accurate picture of the lives and actions American women
throughout our history in other words because
I disagree with some other stuff in that museum
am again it come on
so that's our standard now because you disagree with some other stuff
in the museum now you're against it if
liberals or progresses or democrats
acted in the way that the republicans did
I mean the republicans would absolutely flippin out they were called every name
in the book
they would mark them and Leslie they would say you know
liberal bias this liberal bias that actually they already do that but they
would do it even more
the idea that because
you disagree with some other stuff she's not even saying I'd is resolved she
saying
because I disagree with some love it I'm against it what a silly standard to have
so what would a Michele Bachmann
national women's museum look like you walk in to be
alright guys rule number one here as you can see we have some Bible passages on
the wall these are some on the shells favorites and how they relate to women
let's walk over here to rule number two as you can see we have some Bible
passages on the wall these are all michelle's favorite Sen
the ones that she relates to women let's go in the room number three here
as you can see there are Bible passages on the wall here I'm going with this
in room number four we have in owed to rush limbaugh
in room number five we talk about how Rick Santorum is dreamy and my husband
is gay
what did I say that out loud this is what Michele Bachmann's museum would
look like it would just be all
right-wing nonsense in garbage but of course in her mind
if it's not all right wing stop in the museum it's biased
so in other words it's not biased to have all right wing stuff in there but
it is biased to have a mix of everything
I love the way that they twisted in their minds the way the day view things
unless it's biased in favor of us
dented biased know what would be biased if it were in favor of view
they don't get the most basic concepts but some
whenever you have to say that
all of us are pro women all republican women are pro women or Republican mentor
program it when every up the
practice where you're about to say by saying that you know that what about to
come
is not pro woman you know it's like when they say I'm not a racist but
mmm 19 I'm so the time the thing that comes after that is totally racist
and the reason why we say that republican men and oftentimes republican
women
are anti-woman is because their policies
and when you point to those specific votes it actually becomes
I think it's not even really matter opinion at that point I think it becomes
pretty much a matter of fact
that one side is more anti-woman and the other for sure
so for example the Republicans voted against the Violence Against Women Act
multiple times
the Violence Against Women Act did many important things like for example it set
up a domestic
Abuse Hotline and the reason why they voted it down is because
the sunset provision had ended the sunset clause
you know the time came and they came to re up it and they didn't want to expand
to Native American
women an LGBT women so they voted against it think about that
we don't want the protections to go to this community in that community because
we don't like those communities
is that anti-woman yes I think it is rather plainly I think it is
never mind the other provisions in the Violence Against Women Act that were
important
they also filibustered the Paycheck Fairness Act
which would've E had more transparency on pace for the women can see
if a man is doing the same job as them at the same company if they're getting
paid the same
if there is a discrepancy requires the bosses to say why there is a discrepancy
they filibuster that they just did a recently again multiple times they did
that
most to them a vote against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which extended
the statute of limitations
for up a discrepancy a discrimination lawsuits
so we say your against women because your policies are against women so you
can use your rhetoric in your words all you want
and say we're not against women but by your actions speak louder than your
words
and look it am I saying that it's an at
there's no debate there's no discussion you have to be in favor of this
national women's museum not necessarily know I mean I probably vote for if I was
there but the same time
you can make an argument just a fiscal conservative argument have hey look we
don't have enough money to find food stands for this year then we're gonna
spend money on this now
or looked like she said is already twenty year this year that whatever
there are good arguments to go
against it but you can even make a good argument because she's Michele Bachmann
her argument is essentially
well it's not all right wing propaganda so I'm against it but I'm totally for
women even on totally against women
