In a statement Monday, Tea Party Express Chairmen Amy Kremer released a statement applauding the support and agenda of Michele Bachmann. Despite the praise, the Tea Party Express makes clear that this is not an endorsement:
While the Tea Party Express has not endorsed a presidential candidate at this time, Michele Bachmann garners strong Tea Party support because of her work and commitment to restoring fiscal responsibility to Washington, D.C. We have been pleased with Congresswoman Bachmann’s contributions to this Presidential race and to the Tea Party movement by focusing attention on the need to end the out-of-control government spending and skyrocketing national debt. She is a champion of Tea Party values, as she campaigns for fiscal responsibility and the principles of a limited federal government laid out in the U.S. Constitution.
