Tea Party Patriots Action Press Releases
Tea Party Patriots Action Calls on Biden to Be Removed Via 25th Amendment
Atlanta, GA –Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement in response to Special Counsel Hur’s report regarding President Biden’s “willful” retention and disclosure of classified material. “The Special Counsel has left the American body politic with no choice: We must take the Special Counsel at his word and acknowledge that the president’s mental acuity has deteriorated so much that he can no longer perform the duties of president. If he cannot stand trial because a prosecutor believes he would have difficulty convincing a jury that Biden has the mental capacity to have intent to commit a crime, then President Biden does not have the mental capacity necessary to meet the demands of what everyone knows is a difficult job. “The office of President requires a level of mental performance that President Biden has consistently shown he does not possess. And — incredibly — he insists on running for re-election for another four years. This disastrous chapter in American history must come to an end. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.”
Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Reacts to Smashing Trump Victory in Nevada
Atlanta, GA – Tonight, former President Trump won a smashing victory in Nevada’s GOP caucuses. In response, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund President Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “President Trump is now three-for-three in the nomination states, all by massive margins. Trump’s wins are being fueled by the conservative grassroots — they want him to finish the job he started during his first term. Nikki Haley is delaying the inevitable. She has no path to victory in any state, including her home state of South Carolina, which is next on the calendar. She should withdraw immediately and help conservatives unite for one of the most important missions of our lifetime: Getting the corrupt and ineffectual Joe Biden out of office.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House to Impeach Mayorkas, Senate to Give Him Legitimate Trial
Atlanta, GA – Today, the House is expected to vote on two articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas for his failure to secure our southern border. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “We urge every Member of Congress to vote for Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment. The standards for impeachment are high, but Mayorkas has clearly met them: His refusal to enforce our immigration laws has created a humanitarian and national security disaster on our southern border. Since Mayorkas became DHS Secretary, we know at least eight million illegal aliens have entered our country, with the actual number being much higher and impossible to know. “Should the House act, Senate Democrats must give Mayorkas a legitimate trial, as the constitution demands. Any attempt by Senate Democrats to dismiss the charges on an up-or-down vote before any trial begins would be a fundamental failure to live up to the Senate’s constitutional responsibilities. “The Mayorkas scandal is an accountability moment for Members of Congress in both parties, and we expect Congress to deliver. Mayorkas must go.” In January, the Daily Caller published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, Alejandro Mayorkas Is Finally Getting a Taste Of Accountability. To read it, click here.
Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to DOE Cooking Stove Final Standards
Atlanta, GA – On Monday, the Department of Energy (DOE) finalized its long-awaited standards for cooking stoves, backing down from its initial plan that would have banned nearly half of gas stoves in American households. In response to the DOE’s finalized regulations, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: "While the DOE's announcement may seem like a win against the Biden administration's regulatory onslaught, it's not worth celebrating. The regulations DOE finalized and will start enforcing are unnecessary and will hinder our everyday lives. The administration's so-called ‘green agenda’ continues to take precedence over the interest of the American people. These radicals aren't going anywhere and the fight is not over. We will continue working with Congress to roll back these regulations and protect our way of life." Shortly after Commissioner Trumka proposed a gas stove ban in January 2023, TPPA launched a "Call to Action" urging their members and supporters to leave comments opposing new regulations. They helped generate 4,448 comments. This represented almost half the comments left for the commission.
Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House Committee to Approve Mayorkas Impeachment Articles
Atlanta, GA – Today, the House Homeland Security Committee will mark up articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas for his failure to secure our southern border. Ahead of the committee meeting, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement: “The border crisis is undeniable. Not only are we seeing new record-breaking numbers of illegal alien encounters every month, but also a disturbing increase in individuals on the terrorist watch list apprehended at our southern border. Who knows how many of those individuals have gotten through without our knowledge? “Worse, it is clear the crisis is the result of deliberate policy choices. “The committee is right to pursue impeachment, as Secretary Mayorkas has blatantly refused to enforce our laws and betrayed the public's trust. To restore accountability and protect our nation, Mayorkas must be impeached.” This month, the Daily Caller published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, Alejandro Mayorkas Is Finally Getting a Taste Of Accountability.

Tea Party Patriots Action Applauds Texas Governor Abbott for Strong Leadership on Border Crisis
Atlanta, GA – On Wednesday, Texas Governor Abbott declared that the federal government had failed to uphold its compact with Texas by allowing an invasion of millions of illegal aliens. Texas is currently tied up in litigation with the Biden Administration regarding the erection of barbed wire fencing Texas has placed on state property. Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “Governor Abbott is absolutely correct that the Biden Administration is deliberately failing in its most basic constitutional duty: to protect us from foreign invasion. It is shameful that the Administration has allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter our country, and it is even worse that the Biden Administration is suing Texas to stop it from erecting barbed wire fencing on state property in order to help keep out illegal aliens. Further, it is wrong for Democrats in Congress to urge Biden to federalize the Texas National Guard if Abbott carries out his plan to continue erecting barbed wire. The Biden Administration is playing a dangerous game, and we stand with Abbott and other patriots who are protecting our country against the disastrous Biden Border Crisis.”
Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Congratulates Trump on New Hampshire Victory, Calls on Nikki Haley to Withdraw
Atlanta, GA – Tonight, former President Trump won the New Hampshire GOP primary. In response, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund President Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “President Trump is continuing to gain steam in his quest for the GOP nomination, and the reason is clear: He is the best choice to defeat Joe Biden and enact conservative policies from the Oval Office. That is why Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund endorsed Trump and mobilized our New Hampshire supporters on his behalf. The time has come for Nikki Haley to drop out of the race. We need the entire conservative movement to unite around Trump so we can begin the general election campaign against Biden in the strongest possible position.”
Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund Endorses Donald Trump for President
Atlanta, GA – Today, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund (TPPCF) President Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement, announcing that the Super PAC associated with the nation’s largest Tea Party group has endorsed former President Donald Trump for President: “Donald Trump was a magnificent president: our economy reached heights never before seen; our standard of living rose; crime was under control; our borders were better secured; America became an energy exporter and shed the shackles of dependence on foreign suppliers; foreign allies respected us even as our adversaries feared us; and our future looked bright. He was, in word and deed, the All-American President. Donald Trump was President to all, and he will be again. He didn’t target Americans who disagreed with him or spoke out against him. He didn’t have them arrested for exercising their First Amendment rights. In stark contrast to Joe Biden, Donald Trump honors the Constitution and loves America. He wants all Americans, no matter who they are, to more than succeed – he wants every American to thrive. He wants your family to flourish, even if you disagree with him. We know this is true because this is how he governed every day. Over the last several weeks, we have polled our grassroots supporters. They made their choice clear — Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund activists want Donald Trump to be returned to the White House as the nation's 47th president. Our grassroots understand that the American experiment is at risk, and that the man most able to save it is Donald Trump. Consequently, I am honored and proud to declare that on behalf of our three million supporters, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund endorses Donald Trump for president.”
Tea Party Patriots Action Reacts to House Hearing Highlighting Mayorkas’ Failures
Atlanta, GA – Today, the House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing titled “Voices For The Victims: The Heartbreaking Reality Of The Mayorkas Border Crisis.” This is the second and final hearing to kick off the impeachment process for DHS Secretary Mayorkas. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “This was a very powerful hearing, in which multiple witnesses shared their first-person accounts of the border crisis – an unnecessary crisis fueled by the failures of Secretary Mayorkas to enforce the law. The story of Josephine Dunn, who lost her daughter Ashley to fentanyl at age 26, was particularly heartbreaking. One of the committee members, Democrat Representative Dan Goldberg, responded to Ms. Dunn’s testimony by lecturing Ms. Dunn and berating her. Goldberg would rather attack a mom who buried her own daughter than confront the harsh realities of Mayorkas’ humanitarian disaster. Mayorkas himself was not at today’s hearing. If he took his job seriously, he would have come and testified and listened to the witness’ stories. With today’s hearing, momentum is building for something that should have already happened: Secretary Mayorkas must be impeached.” Last week, the Daily Caller published Ms. Martin’s op-ed, Alejandro Mayorkas Is Finally Getting a Taste Of Accountability.

Tea Party Patriots Action Urges House Committees to Find Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress
Atlanta, GA – Today, the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Accountability Committee are considering a resolution recommending that the House find Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress, after the president's son failed to comply with a subpoena for closed-door testimony and instead held a press conference on Capitol grounds. In response, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) Chairman Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement: “This is a no-brainer: The president’s son willfully ignored a congressional subpoena, and then salted the wound by holding a press conference on the grounds of the Capitol to drive home his point — that he’s a Biden, the son of the president, so he’s safe, and he can ignore the rules that bind the rest of us. He believes he’s not going to be prosecuted by a Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney, so he believes he can taunt the congressmen who are conducting an investigation into his family’s corrupt business practices. What Hunter Biden did in holding that press conference was worse than simply defying a congressional subpoena. He not only should be held in contempt of Congress, he must be held in contempt of Congress. “Former Trump aides Stephen Bannon and Peter Navarro similarly defied congressional subpoenas. The House voted to hold both in contempt of Congress, and then referred both to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia for prosecution. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves prosecuted both, and he won convictions against both for contempt of Congress. “Even though they think they are, the president and his son are not above the law. The House investigation into the Biden crime family is legitimate and important, and holding Hunter Biden in contempt is a necessary action to keep the investigation moving. The House committees must pass the resolution today, and the full House should follow promptly.”
