Jenny Beth Martin is the top dog there now, having purged Mark Meckler out.
One time in DC when some teaparty people were gathered for a small impromptu rally, J B Martin came up with a bull horn and tried to get them all to come to where she was having a rally.
Grabbing some real tea party people to take to their shearing barn.
She is vicious and only is interested in there being one Tea Party group, hers.
When the Tea Party Express started, the TPP badmouthed them and got lots of their chapters to diss the TPX also.
She gets them hook, line and sinker.
Or at least used to...
IMO, the Tea Party Express is the most effective Tea Party group out there.
Some of their people went to DC on the first of Jan to work the pols.
