\"10Batshit\"<\/p>\n

Former GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann recently became a citizen of Switzerland after her husband claimed his heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongresswoman Bachmann\u2019s husband is of Swiss descent so she has been eligible for dual-citizenship since they got married in 1978,\u201d Becky Rogness said in a statement to POLITICO<\/a>, which first reported the story in the United States. \u201cHowever, recently some of their children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual-citizenship so they went through the process as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marcus Bachmann reportedly began the process to claim his citizenship on Feb. 15, according to POLITICO. That process was finalized on March 19, giving Michele citizenship as well, the website reported.<\/p>\n

Bachmann\u2019s three youngest children are now Swiss citizens too, and her two older children also eligible to apply.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota congresswoman was interviewed by Swiss reporters in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday while with a group of Swiss parliamentarians and she discussed her family\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband is a 100 percent Swiss, and his parents were raised in Switzerland, they were married there, they came to the United States, they bought a farm in Wisconsin and raised their three sons there,\u201d Bachmann said in the interview<\/a>\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given that to be eligible for Swiss healthcare, Michele would have to move there, so let’s wish her immediate eligibility, as we hope that the Swiss do not declare war on the US for dropping the Batsh*t Bomb on them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
