We Warned You About the Tea Party Express
You can’t say we did not warn you.
The Tea Party Express is NOT a legit tea party.
The legit tea party was formed in 2007, and NO GOP consultants were involved, no money was provided by the Kochs or any DC group, and their purpose was NOT TO ENDORSE CANDIDATES, but to spread information on issues.
They (and we) also do NOT share your info with the IRS.
And they would NEVER have endorsed this!
Sal Russo is a quisling for the GOP establishment — a long time GOP operative and consultant who admitted that his group was there for the purpose of making the legit tea party ‘compromise’.
In 2009, many other GOP establishment operatives hijacked our 2007 name and formed other groups. They are just as suspect. The Tea Party Patriots have gone off on a tangent, joining in with liberal groups to try to bring about an Article V Convention. Very dangerous. Tea Party Nation decided it was going to endorse Newt Gingrich (hardly a conservative and not the purpose of the movement) as well as more recently, the “Constitution Party”… another move the legit tea party would never do.
Remember, Sal Russo, whose group eventually traipsed around the country on a bus promoting Mitt Romney, said publicly that the purpose of his group was to make the tea party ‘compromise’.
So he next time you see people like Jenny Beth Martin, Mark Meckler, Amy Kremer, Judson Philips, Sal Russo, Todd Cefaratti, or any of these others in the news purporting to be the ‘tea party’, listen carefully to what they are saying.
Need they do any more to convince you of who these folks really are?
