GOP Congreswoman Michelle Bachmann Lies About the U.S. Census

On Sean Hannity’s radio show yesterday, Michelle Bachmann attacked the U.S.
Census, repeatedly insisting that people should go to her website to “see the Census form for themselves.” Listing off a few questions from the American Community Survey (a long-form survey sent out to one in 40 households each year) that she considers invasive, Bachmann claimed that it doesn’t ask “are you an American citizen." In fact, the American Community Survey does ask about U.S. citizenship and it has since 1890.
