Ex-Bachmann Staffers Decry Campaign As "Cruel," "Unprofessional"

Former staffers from the New Hampshire branch of Michele Bachmann’s struggling Presidential campaign explained their decision to depart en-masse Monday, claiming that they were treated in an “unprofessional, dishonest, and at times cruel” manner by the national campaign.

In a statement released by “Team NH-Bachmann for President,” the former staffers say that they were left out of strategy discussions and were neglected for weeks by the national campaign.

They go on to argue that this behavior didn’t just affect them, but was also directed toward New Hampshire voters.

“These are our neighbors and our friends, and some within the national team treated them more as a nuisance than as potential supporters,” the statement reads.

The staffers note that despite their frustration, they feel no ill will toward Michele Bachmann, adding that they will continue to help Republicans attempt to unseat President Obama.

“The NH team is committed to making Obama a one-term president, but it will be through other organizations/campaigns,” the staffers explained.
