Political pundits are calling Kathy Hochul’s win in NY-26 a ‘referendum on Medicare,’ but there’s no doubt independent Jack Davis’ fake tea party campaign had something to do with it. His record is diametrically opposed to the limited government mission of the true tea party movement and wascaught on camera assaulting a cameraman—all of which outraged the tea party movement.

Regardless, this is no time for Republicans to back down from entitlement reform.

Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin of the Tea Party Patriots are available to make the case for Congress to redouble its efforts to make drastic cuts and tackle Medicare and Social Security.

Please let me know if you would like to interview them.
