Bachmann Claims John Q. Adams Was Founding Father

The Daily Caller reports:

Minnesota GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann, now an official span style="color: green;">presidential candidate<, wrangled with George Stephanopoulos of “Good Morning America” during an interview Tuesday morning when the host gave her an opportunity to clear up past gaffes.

But when addressing her March comment that the Founding Fathers “worked tirelessly” to end slavery, Bachmann made what could be construed as another misstatement.

“Well if you look at one of our Founding Fathers, John Quincy Adams, that’s absolutely true,” said Bachmann. “He tirelessly worked throughout his life to make sure that we did, in fact, one day eradicate slavery from our nation.”

When Stephanopoulos pointed out that John Quincy Adams is not generally considered to be a span style="color: green;">Founding Father<, Bachmann said he may have been a young boy, but he was “absolutely a part of the Revolutionary War era.”
