Stretching the Truth, Michele Bachmann Claims that Newt is the Most Liberal Republican Candidate on Immigration

Michele Bachmann continued her attack on presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich as the most “liberal” Republican candidate for President, releasing a letter that she said indicates his support of amnesty for 11 million illegal workers. The letter was signed by Gingrich and other conservatives in support of President Bush’s guest worker program. Gingrich said he could not understand Bachmann’s reliance on the letter to show that he is pro-“amnesty” but stood by his position of a path to legalization for long term residents who are assimilated innto American social life.
