Webster City, Iowa (CNN) - As Newt Gingrich denies he was paid to lobby Republicans for mortgage giant Freddie Mac, fellow Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann on Wednesday challenged Gingrich's denial.

"Whether former Speaker Gingrich made $300,000 or whether he made $2 million, the point is that he took money to also influence senior Republicans to be favorable toward Fannie and Freddie," Bachmann said after a campaign event in Webster City, Iowa.

I’m changing my party affiliation back to democrate. At least then I can expect the inmates to run the asylum!

My stint as a republican has been pure misery because republicans have no loyalty to anyone but themselves.

Republicans=effin’ freak show!

If she has information then she should bring it out, not act like the MSM w/ ad hominem attacks & anonymous sources. Aren’t we all kind of tired of that from the libs?

As much as I think Bachmann is a dangerously loose cannon, that was COMPLETELY uncalled for. I suggest asking a mod to delete your post (”Report Abuse” on yourself, before someone else does it for you).

What a series!

Newt is the teacher/leader we NEED.
We are very lucky to have him.

Does she ever go after Romney, or just the other frontrunners?
But Romney was so NICE to her in that one debate, when they were all sitting around the table, and he turned to her and said, gosh, what a NICE lady you are.

She's never quite gotten over that.
