DescriptionRep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) believes that President Barack Obama is turning the United States into a “nation of slaves.”

Bachmann made the comments over the weekend while appearing at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver.

According to the Colorado Independent, Bachmann first read a letter from John Jay that he wrote during the Revolutionary War.

“We are determined to live free or not at all. And we are resolved that posterity shall never reproach us with having brought slaves into the world,” Jay wrote.

Bachmann then riffed off of Jay in her own worlds, telling the audience, “We will talk a little bit about what has transpired in the last 18 months and would we count what has transpired into turning our country into a nation of slaves.”
