Morning Quote: Tea Party Co-Founder Amy Kremer

At a Tea Party event yesterday, the Party’s co-founder, Amy Kremer, declared that Gov. Rick Scott’s (R-Fl) illegal voter purge is necessary because, according to Kremer,

“ If the Democrats cannot win it  [an election] fair and square, they will steal it.”

As Steve Benen noted this morning, Kremer made this oh so ironic remark without a “hint of irony”. Benen also pointed out that “87% of Scott's purge list is made up of minorities, minority voters tend to support Democrats, and the scheme is being executed five months before Election Day, the partisan motivations behind the governor's agenda is rather transparent”.
