Tea Party Express targets fake "Tea Party" candidate Jack Davis in NY-26

More chicanery involving the misappropriation of the Tea Party mantle.

From Tea Party Express press release:

Tea Party Express today denounced Congressional candidate Jack Davis for fraudulently calling himself a 'tea party' supporter in the NY-26 special election, when in fact he opposes core tea party principles, and is attempting to spoil the race for conservatives.

Though Davis is listed under "Tea Party" on the ballot, his political past reveals him as a liberal Democrat with a history of supporting higher taxes, ObamaCare, cap and trade legislation, contributing many thousands of dollars to far-left Democrat candidates, as well as endorsing Barack Obama for President.

Given Davis' past support for big-government liberals, it is extremely likely that he is running under the "Tea Party" name purely to confuse and deceive voters, in an effort to split the conservative vote and help a Democrat win the seat.

The Tea Party Express is disgusted and outraged at these sneaky, deceptive tactics, and is launching a campaign to educate voters on Davis' anti-tea party past. The group will be in the district on Monday holding press conferences and announcing further details in a campaign to reveal the truth about Jack Davis, his fraudulent candidacy, and his long history of actively opposing Tea Party principles of fiscal responsibility and limited government.
Jane Corwin is the Republican candidate in the race. Click here and watch a video in which Davis appears to slaps a Corwin volunteer.
