MSNBC contributor Meghan McCain interviewed Michele Bachmann and spoke glowingly about the Republican presidential candidate on Thursday’s edition of Now with Alex Wagner. “I famously said a statement earlier where I said Michele Bachmann was the poor man’s Sarah Palin,” McCain recalled. “I am completely wrong. This is the thinking man’s Sarah Palin.”
“I connected with her,” McCain added. “I didn’t know what to expect and I’m a person who has been around politicians my entire life. I connected to this woman and I thought, this is what she should be doing, talking about being a mother and on foreign policy things. I don’t understand why this woman I met yesterday hasn’t been coming across. That’s the thing I don’t understand. I don’t think her campaign has done her a service. I loved her.”
