The Tea Party Patriots strike again. In preparation for the much anticipated Jonathan Gruber showdown with a congressional panel Tuesday, the Tea Party Patriots designed a special t-shirt to make sure the notorious Obamacare architect’s “curtain call doesn’t go unnoticed.”
The Washington Times reports:
A tea party group said its members will greet Jonathan Gruber, the man at the center of Obamacare’s troubled public image, with T-shirts reading “I’m with Stupid” when he shows up to defend himself Tuesday before what’s likely to be a hostile congressional panel.
Republicans call Mr. Gruber, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a key architect of the Affordable Care Act, while Democrats are rushing to put distance between them and their erstwhile star after several rounds of caught-on-tape remarks about the “stupidity of the American voter” and the need to game budget rules to pass Obamacare were made public.
To draw attention to Gruber’s viral “stupid Americans” comments made over the last few years, Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin said that the group will be welcoming him to the hearing with their newly minted shirts and even offering the MIT expert a parting gift “in the spirit of the season”:
“With all that’s going on in the Capitol, we didn’t want Mr. Gruber’s curtain call to go unnoticed,” said Martin. “We commemorated his appearance, and in the spirit of the Season, we’d like to offer the Obamacare architect a dozen. He can use them as stocking stuffers for the economically unsophisticated.”
