"Michele Bachmann's own mother ratted her out for skipping a family reunion - which the Tea Party darling blamed for making her late to an event in Iowa Sunday night.
Bachmann's mom, Jean Amble, and her two cousins told Politico Monday that the Minnesota congresswoman never showed up at the reunion, though hubby Marcus Bachmann and the couple's children did.
Yet when the candidate arrived late to the Black Hawk County Republican Party dinner Sunday night, she told Radio Iowa that she was late because "I had a family reunion … north of Waterloo today," Reuters reported.
Texas Governor Rick Perry was also at the event, Reuters said.
Bachmann had repeatedly talked about the family reunion throughout the weekend, Politico pointed out.
On Fox News Sunday she told host Chris Wallace that she was looking forward to seeing her family.
"We're having a big family reunion today in northeastern Iowa so I'll get to go and see all my relatives," she said.
