This video of an eight-year-old cub activist named Elijah confronting Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) on gay rights hit the tubes on Sunday and went viral pretty fast. It’s pretty easy to see why: Elijah tells Bachmann, “My mommy’s gay but she doesn’t need any fixing.” Bachmann’s response, other than momentary shock, is to wave “bye, bye” to the kid.
Watch:
Bachmann is currently lagging in single digits in Iowa, where by all accounts she needs a strong showing. But she’s built up enough of a reputation for her opposition to gay rights that, even as she slides in the polls, she still has a pretty sizable bullseye on her back and has been on the receiving end of a number of similar video ambushes.
