Washington, DC – Tea Party Patriots CEO and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement reacting to President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks on his plan for action on his first day in the White House.

“Tea Party Patriots is excited to roll up our sleeves and get to work with President-elect Donald Trump and his administration as they begin the huge task of draining the swamp and ending the party the Washington Establishment has thrown themselves for years with our hard-earned tax dollars. President-elect Trump has promised on day one to take serious actions that will begin the process of cleaning up Washington and reversing the damage done to our economy by President Obama and his failed liberal agenda. Our grassroots army will be ready to support his efforts to roll back job-killing government regulations, fight back against visa fraud to begin the task of securing our borders, and place restrictions on former government employees trying to cash in on their public service by making big money lobbying the government they promised to serve. These actions will get President-elect Trump and his administration off to a great start as they begin taking back power from the Washington insiders and lobbyists in order to return it to its rightful place: with the citizens of our great country. What a breath of fresh air.”
