The national tea party movement is deeply tied to some of the nation’s most extreme, right-wing groups, the vice president of a national group that monitors the right said in Missoula on Saturday.
Devin Burghart of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights made his comments at the annual convention of the Montana Human Rights Network.
“The tea party makes it sounds like they’re all about budget deficits, tax reduction and fiscal responsibility,” said Burghart. “But that’s not true. They’re also about the social elements of the extreme right wing.” snip
The report directly links the tea party movement to various members of groups that support white supremacy, anti-Semitism, homophobia, Islamophobia and radically curtailed immigration laws.
