Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., suffers from migraines, she acknowledged Tuesday, but she said the headaches are “easily manageable with medication” and would not hamper her ability to serve as president.
The e-mail statement came after the Daily Caller — a conservative news website — reported she has been hospitalized multiple times because of the condition, citing three former aides to the Republican hopeful.
Bachmann, 55, who was campaigning Tuesday in South Carolina, said the headaches have not interfered with her hectic schedule as a presidential candidate and congresswoman.
“I have prescription medication that I take whenever symptoms arise, and they keep the migraines under control,” Bachmann wrote. “Let me be abundantly clear — my ability to function effectively has never been impeded by migraines and will not affect my ability to serve as commander in chief.” The Washington Post
