Larry Jacobs addresses Bachmann's history of pursuing a social conservative agenda.

Horowitz quoted political scientist Larry Jacobs, who stated of the Bachmanns that "Their career in politics has always been about pursuing a social conservative agenda." Horowitz dutifully echoed Jacobs's assessment, disputing a quote from Michele Bachmann: "I am not running [for president] to be anyone's judge." Horowitz then proceeded to judge Bachmann's statement: "This is something of a change."
