Looks like he may indeed be a plant. Writing a bad check probably done deliberately in order to get the press coverage and link him publically and negatively to the TP movement.
I don't know if writing a bad check was some planned thing, but I do know that the Tea Party movement has been clearly stating that he's never been a part of the movement and in no way is he some sort of founder of the movement. he's just a guy that registered a web page with Tea Party in the name and is making false claims...and rather by intent or not he's a useful idiot for the MSM.
Harry probably paid him 20K to write a 5K bad check-AND he’ll be paving every driveway in Harry’s district.
To me, in the grand scheme of things and the gajillions of dollars the criminals in DC have spent-before they printed it-$5k for this guy and the $1900 from the other “big” RNC scandal-is just ridiculous.
This is really a stretch-TP, RNC or otherwise.
If he wrote bogus checks weekly AND was printing his own money, then I would be interested.
This is much ado about nothing.
