She never said that she raised 23 foster kids. What she said was that 23 foster kids have lived with them through the years. According to what I’ve read some of the foster kids were there for maybe a couple of weeks and others were there for up to two years. This is a classical example of the left responding to what was not said and building a case or rebuttal to what was never said. Maybe next we’ll be treated to stories about how Michelle’s children really aren’t hers.
“She never said that she raised 23 foster kids.”
Yes, she has. She said it in an interview with Wolf Blitzer yesterday (Friday). I imagine she has said it before. I don’t know that it changes anything, but it’s not accurate to say that she’s never said she ‘raised’ 23 foster kids. She said it yesterday.

BACHMANN: You know, Wolf, I am pro-life, and I’ve always have been proudly pro-life. I have five biological children. My husband and I raised 23 foster children. I’m just pro-life.
