An endorsement by a scam organization.
Jenny Beth Martin, one of the founders of Tea Party Patriots went from cleaning houses to living in a $600,000+ lakeside home on the donations of Patriots.
Headline: “Jenny Beth Martin Makes More the $450,000 Annually as National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriotsâ€Â...Here’s the link: http://americanpowerblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/jenny-beth-martin-makes-more-450000.html
TPP used to advertise on Mark Levin’s show. They haven’t placed an ad in months because they’re low on funds. This is just another money making scam by Martin.
If you click on the TPP link endorsing Cruz, notice how the “DONATE†tab is highlighted.
I really like Ted. He’s my second choice after Trump. I won’t bad mouth him, but I will say that hearing the name Jenny Beth Martin causes me to shudder.
Think back on the 2014 elections and primary races. Where was Jenny for David Brat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1gj5Tp2a34.
Later interviewed on air by Laura Jenny struggled greatly and blamed all her great work in Mississippi on trying to help beat Thad Cochran. In other items about support to Brat there is this http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tea-party-groups-that-offered-dave-brat-zero-support-sure-are-thrilled-he-defeated-eric-cantor/article/2549568 and this

Yet, to me was the investigative piece on conservative group spending here
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/tea-party-pacs-reap-money-for-midterms-but-spend-little-on-candidates/2014/04/26/0e52919a-cbd6-11e3-a75e-463587891b57_story.html where you can see exactly what level of funding support to candidates is given (including Tea Party Patriots).
To my mind, perhaps an endorsement by them for Ted is good for moral support, but if I were a cautious man, I’d be thinking about just how much of that donation money out there it will siphon off and spend on overhead before it gets to helping me. I’m sure this endorsement will be far more beneficial the JBM and funding raising for her rather than Ted. Not a good move IMO.
