"It's very difficult for me to talk about because it provokes a lot of inner conflict in that I never want to tell a little girl what she can't do. And I don't want to tell young people what is not possible. I've never been in the business of doing that," she added.

The wide-ranging interview offered multiple controversial statements that have led to widespread criticisms online. The congresswoman even said she wasn't sure if she would be alive in September, adding to the drama.
The interview takes an intentionally provocative approach, but conservatives hope she's at least serious about not trying to become president.
