U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann met with challengers Tarryl Clark and Bob Anderson on MPR this afternoon for a 30-minute discussion that took a more heated tone than their last meeting in St. Cloud.
The three candidates sparred over tax cuts, job creation, bailouts and health care. Bachmann and Clark spent most of the discussion talking over each other about their past votes and alleged misinformation.
Clark said she would have voted against the bailouts because "Wall Street got bailed out and main street didn't."
She added: "As we're moving forward I think the bigger question right now is [why] Congresswoman Bachmann sided with Wall Street against financial reform."
Bachmann cut her off, arguing that the bill is "pro-Wall Street" and will have a negative impact on consumers. "She's continuing to go on and make false statements and claims."
When Clark said the bill would end bailouts, Bachmann rebutted that it would make them "permanent." "You really misunderstand this bill," Bachmann said.
Clark jabbed at Bachmann for opposing a bill that funds health care payments for 9/11 responders.
