Michele Bachmann Demands NBC Apologize for 'Lyin' Ass Bit**' Entrance Music

"clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite."

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann on Wednesday demanded NBC apologize for the walk-on music used for her appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," when the house band played an instrumental version of the song "Lyin' Ass Bitch."

In her first public comments about the Monday incident, Bachmann said during an appearance on Fox News she has accepted Fallon's apology, but now NBC needs to address the issue. The Minnesota congresswoman said it was sexist and showed bias against conservative women.

"If that had been Michelle Obama, who’d come out on the stage, and if that song had been played for Michelle Obama, I have no doubt that NBC would have apologized to her and likely they could have fired the drummer, or at least suspended him," Bachmann said.

Fallon apologized to Bachmann Tuesday night on Twitter, writing "I'm honored that @michelebachmann was on our show yesterday and I'm so sorry about the intro mess. I really hope she comes back."

Bachmann said Wednesday she plans to speak to Fallon about the incident, but said she remains a fan of his and hopes to return to his show again.

Still, she said the network's silence is unacceptable.

"This is clearly a form of bias on the part of the Hollywood entertainment elite and sexism as well," Bachmann said Wednesday. "This wouldn't be tolerated if it was Michelle Obama, it shouldn't be tolerated if it's a conservative woman either."

The song choice — which the The Roots' drummer boasted on Twitter about playing — drew outrage Tuesday, including from Glenn Beck, who called for Fallon to fire the band.

Bachmann said she didn't know what the song was at the time and only found out about the controversy the next day.
