After the Wall Street Journal ran an editorial implying Tea Partiers were racists for opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants, the leader of a national Tea Party organization blasted the publication for maligning and stereotyping grassroots conservatives.
Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News, “it’s sad and unfortunate that we’re seeing another rant from another person who is completely disconnected from grassroots conservatives and knows nothing about the Tea Party except what he hears on MSNBC.”
Martin was referring to columnist William Galston, who wrote that the Tea Party was a mob and “offers nothing except nostalgia for a demography that is in retreat and a Constitution that never was.”
The Journal ran its own editorial implying the Tea Party was racist and nativist.
