Do a “majority of Tea Party members” and “Tea Party activists” support raising the minimum wage? According to a segment on MSNBC, the answer is “yes.” However, if you actually ask leaders of some of the largest Tea Party organizations that question, the answer is a resounding, “No!”

About 1:38 minutes into the segment, former congressman and frequent MSNBC contributor Harold Ford stated, “Chuck Todd said the majority of Tea Party members support an increase in the minimum wage.”

THEY haven’t the foggiest idea what the Tea Party is and so they can make these inane statements.

Well, according to MSNBC, the TEA Party are low information and racis homophobes, so how can the MSNBC audience even consider heeding the TEA Party?

they are the worst.

PMSNBC far outstrips the left leanings of CBS, ABC and CNN combined.

I am not in the majority.

I do not support raising the minimum wage and starting a new inflationary cycle.

MSNBC doesn't understand the TEA party but recognizes it as the enemy of statism. They will never find anything positive to say about the grass roots movement that clearly worries the left.

This MSNBC segment is attempting to claim that TEA party members only pretend to want a higher minimum wage, as if not being in favor of a higher minimum wage is somehow something disreputable. Like all liberals, they assume that there is no downside to constantly raising the minimum wage, ignoring the negative effects on those just entering the workforce and those with few skills. You know, the folks liberals always pretend to love. Fortunately, because MSNBC is only preaching to the leftist choir, their assertions are meaningless and few watch this propaganda network.

More Hugo award winning writing from MSNBC. I don’t think they’d know a Tea Party member if one walked up and introduced himself

MSNBC belongs in the sewer with he rest of the slime. Take a look of their reporters and their guests. Sooner or later their three viewers will get tired of their slime reporting and move on to watching a more informative station like the TV test pattern.

Not only should it not be raised, but this tea partier believes it shouldn’t exist.

I am a member of the TEA party, and if I owned a business, I’d probably support a raise as well.
