On the tea party — from last year in @BW magazine.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@BW There is a false narrative on the left that the tea party was simply an astroturf operation by the Kochs et al. It had wealthy funders, sure, but the movement also had real grassroots power — it just had little to do with the deficit.
@BW The leaders of the movement seem to recognize this. Here, for instance, are the official statements from Tea Party Patriots since spring — no criticism of Trump as deficits soar to $1 trillion (contrast with their attitude to Obama).
@BW President Trump described it this way in @TimAlberta's book: "The tea party still exists — except now it’s called Make America Great Again."
