Huh?

Former Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's fervent evangelical views got national attention when she launched her presidential campaign for the 2012 Republican nomination.

Her Christian counseling center offered gay conversion therapy, she fought for a constitutional ban on same sex marriage, and she often cites her faith as a touchstone informing her views.


So, many were surprised when, in a radio interview, the Evangelical Republican called President Donald Trump the godliest President of her lifetime.

Listen below:

Bachmann said:

“In my lifetime, I have never seen a more biblical president than I have seen in Donald Trump...We will, in all likelihood, never see a more godly, biblical president again in our lifetimes.”

Many consider the President a pathological liar, serial adulterer, and proud narcissist. He's bragged about committing sexual assault, vowed to bar asylum seekers from entering the country, and admitted that he doesn't ask forgiveness.

Perhaps Bachmann was exercising a Christian virtue of mercy when praising Trump, but if so, the quality of her mercy is strained, considering the legions of people like President Barack Obama, LGBT people, and others for not being Christian enough.

Many grilled the failed Presidential candidate for praise they felt was undue.

Some even speculated on Bachmann's mental health.

People were also unanimous as to which President best exemplified Christianity.

On the bright side, if Donald Trump is the most biblical President of our lifetime, at least we'll have no trouble infiltrating the pearly gates.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
