Also the ones to spend ~90% of donations on themselves

If you are talking about the Tea Party Express, that is a BALD FACED LIE!

"The Tea Party Express has donated $45,000 to candidates and spent $162,000 on ads since 2013. It paid its consulting firm $2.75 million.

Consultant Sal Russo justified this money as reimbursements for staffing bus tours and rallies around the country. "Everything goes on our credit card. Sometimes there's up to 45 people that we've got to feed and house."

"People get excited to see that they're not alone, that people share their concerns," Russo said. "That's the niche that we think we can fill best.""

There are PLENTY of legitimate Tea Party groups that spend the great bulk of the funds they raise on constitutional conservative candidates. Unfortunately, Tea Party Express is NOT one of them. Most of the raised funds go to its organizers.

DON’T DONATE TO THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS!!
