Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Senate Confirming Kash Patel as FBI Director

February 20, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The Senate has voted to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director, marking a major step toward restoring integrity to and ending the weaponization of the bureau. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "For years, the FBI has been a tool of the political elite, targeting opponents of the Washington Swamp. With Kash Patel as Director, we finally have a leader who understands the depth of the problem — and more importantly, how to fix it. As a relentless crusader against government corruption, Patel's sole focus has been on providing transparency to all Americans. Now, Patel has the opportunity to clean house, rebuild trust, and ensure the FBI serves its true purpose: enforcing the law, not advancing a political agenda. “This confirmation is a victory for the American people and a warning to the entrenched bureaucrats who thought they could operate without accountability. We look forward to seeing Patel take swift action to put the FBI back on the right path.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Depoliticize Justice by Confirming Patel

February 19, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Kash Patel's nomination for FBI Director this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “The FBI long has been in desperate need of massive reform. Consequently, we at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Kash Patel for FBI Director. “For more than a decade, the FBI has wrongly been going after law-abiding Americans for partisan purposes — for instance, the FBI has gone after Catholics, parents who attend school board meetings, and pro-life protesters who peacefully demonstrate outside abortion clinics, among many other Americans. That’s wrong, and it must stop. “We know a thing or two about being on the receiving end of such government abuse — Tea Party Patriots itself was a victim of the weaponization of government, during the Obama administration’s infamous IRS targeting scandal. “As a former chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee, Patel exposed the FBI’s abuse of power under the Obama administration. He has vowed to combat the corruption that’s eroded public trust in the bureau. He has the drive and determination to change the FBI into what it needs to be – a politically-neutral law enforcement agency, protecting every American from threats domestic and foreign. “Kash Patel is an outstanding nominee for FBI Director, and he deserves the support of every senator.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

February 7, 2025 Atlanta, GA – According to a new poll released today by Tea Party Patriots Action, a significant majority of Americans support President Trump’s agenda on spending cuts, the economy, immigration, and other crucial issues. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Americans support President Trump’s agenda, and it’s time for the politicians and bureaucrats to recognize that and either get on board or get out of the way. Our new poll shows broad, bipartisan support for President Trump's agenda – an important reality check for the Beltway elites who are already trying to thwart the president, and proof positive that Americans want to get control of Washington’s reckless borrowing and spending and prevent the massive tax hike Democrats want. "Our new poll shows that approximately four-in-five voters agree that Congress and the President must rein in Washington’s reckless borrowing and spending to lower inflation and bring down grocery prices (79% agree,12% disagree). Seven-in-ten voters support Congress and the President taking action to extend the current tax policy to prevent a tax hike (71% support, 15% oppose). A large majority of voters want accountability – two-in-three voters prefer that Members of Congress vote on creating regulations rather than unelected bureaucrats (67% support, 11% oppose). Three-in-five voters say that Congress has an obligation to the American people to secure the border before taking their extended recess in April (62% support, 25% oppose). A majority of voters say they expect to be better off over the next four years now that President Trump is in office (50% agree, 38% disagree).

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Confirm Bondi

February 4, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Pam Bondi’s nomination for Attorney General this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “It’s time to ensure that no American is targeted by a Department of Justice weaponized against political opponents, and to ensure that the law is applied equally to all. Consequently, we at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Pam Bondi for Attorney General. “After four years of the corrupt Merrick Garland at the helm, the Department of Justice is a mess. Pam Bondi will rededicate the DOJ to its original mission — fair and equal application of the law for all Americans. Under Attorney General Bondi, there will no longer be partisan-fueled lawfare against conservatives and law-abiding Americans, which is a top priority for our activists. “Tea Party Patriots Action worked closely with Bondi during President Trump's first impeachment trial, when she consistently joined our weekly calls to activists mobilizing opposition to impeachment. Those who watched Bondi's Senate confirmation hearing learned what Tea Party Patriots Action's activists already know: Pam Bondi is smart, honest, and fearless. She will be an excellent Attorney General." For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].

Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “It’s time to drain the swamp.

He is the right man at the right time. “Spending and borrowing are out of control in Washington, and our activists are demanding significant changes to get our fiscal house in order.

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senators to Support Patel

January 29, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a confirmation hearing with FBI Director nominee Kash Patel. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Kash Patel for FBI Director. For over a decade, the FBI has been going after law-abiding Americans for partisan purposes. They have gone after Catholics, parents who attend school board meetings, and pro-life protesters who peacefully demonstrate outside abortion clinics, among many other Americans.

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate Judiciary Committee to Approve Bondi

January 29, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every senator to support Pam Bondi for Attorney General. Bondi's career experience spans the entire range of public service as an attorney, including service as Florida's most senior law enforcement officer. As the Attorney General for America's third-largest state, Bondi demonstrated a commitment to equal application of the law – exactly what is sorely needed now at the top of the Justice Department, which, under Merrick Garland, has been plagued by partisanship and been deployed as an institutional weapon against political opponents. “Tea Party Patriots Action worked closely with Bondi during President Trump's first impeachment trial, when she consistently joined our weekly calls to activists mobilizing opposition to impeachment. Those who watched Bondi's Senate confirmation hearing learned what Tea Party Patriots Action's activists already knew: Pam Bondi is smart, honest, and fearless.

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges Senate to Confirm Hegseth

January 23, 2025 Atlanta, GA – The full Senate is expected to vote on Pete Hegseth's nomination for Defense Secretary this week. Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We at Tea Party Patriots Action urge every Senator to vote for Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary. The President, as Commander in Chief, deserves trust when it comes to picking his Defense Secretary, and Pete Hegseth is an outstanding choice: he is a decorated combat veteran, a former executive director of two veterans' organization, and the face of the nationwide movement to dismantle woke indoctrination within the Pentagon. Woke indoctrination is a major reason for America's military recruitment crisis, giving urgency to fixing that issue. After four years of the disastrous Lloyd Austin at the helm, Pete Hegseth will be a major upgrade, fulfilling President Trump's national security agenda, protecting our nation from those who wish to do us harm, and doing right by our brave servicemen and women in uniform."

Tea Party Patriots Action Agrees with Archivist and the Law: Biden Is Wrong on ERA

January 17, 2025 Atlanta, GA – On Friday, President Biden declared that he believes that the Equal Rights Amendment has met the requirements of ratification and therefore is now part of the Constitution. The archivist of the United States, a Biden appointee, has until now refused to formally publish the amendment on the grounds that it has not met Constitutional requirements. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Joe Biden’s declaration that he believes the Equal Rights Amendment has been ratified by 38 states is, like so many of the things he has said over the course of a 50-plus year career, simply wrong. This desperate last-minute attempt to curry favor with so-called ‘women’s groups’ is laughable on its face, especially coming from the leader of a political party many of whose leading lights, including its most recent Supreme Court nominee, cannot define what a ‘woman’ is in the first place. “Less than a month ago, the two senior officials of the National Archives — Biden appointees — released a statement declaring their firm stance that the proposed amendment has not met the requirements for ratification. Their stance relies, as they point out, on, among other things, legal opinions written by the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice in 2020 and 2022, again under the direction of Biden's own appointees. “The Archivist is right. The law is clear. “Biden’s statement has no legal force. It is nothing more than a last-ditch attempt to woo certain elements of the American body politic. Like so much of what he has attempted, it, too, will fail.” For more information or any press inquiries, please contact TJ Winer at [email protected].
