30 Most Awkward Magazine Covers That Will Leave You Cringing

"Queen of Rage"

In the midst of the 2012 United States Presidential Election, Newsweek found themselves embroiled in yet another heated debate. This time, their target was none other than Republican nominee Michele Bachmann.

With a cover that many deemed unflattering, Newsweek depicted Bachmann alongside the headline "Queen of Rage: Michele Bachmann on God, the Tea Party, and the Evils of Government."

Of course, this didn't sit well with Bachmann's supporters, who felt that the magazine had crossed a line with their portrayal of the candidate. They argued that it was a blatant attempt to undermine her credibility, painting her as an angry extremist rather than focusing on her political positions.
