I hope this isn’t an attempt by the establishment Republicans to co-opt the tea party.
A House committee has approved the creation of an official Tea Party Caucus, triggering praise from an outspoken Republican but creating a dilemma for some of her colleagues.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a favorite of the Tea Party movement, tweeted on Monday that the House Administration Committee had signed off on her request to form the Tea Party Caucus. Kyle Anderson, a spokesman for the panel headed by Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.), confirmed that it cleared Bachmann’s paperwork.
Initially, it’s going to be an attempt for the Tea Party to infiltrate the Republican establishment.
It will, if course, fail.
