Former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks organization rolled out its Diverse Tea campaign Monday at diverse-tea.com.
FreedomWorks President and CEO Matt Kibbe told The Daily Caller that the program is meant to showcase diversity in the Tea Party movement. The first four members of Diverse Tea highlighted are the Rev. C.L. Bryant, Deneen Borelli, Tito Munoz and Ryan Hecker.
Bryant is a former Houston NAACP chapter president, and left the organization because he was upset with its use of race as a means to push a liberal agenda. He’s currently working with FreedomWorks on a new documentary, Runaway Slave, which is meant to cast doubt on the allegiance of blacks to the Democratic Party.
Borelli, a fellow with the Project 21 network of black conservatives, regularly speaks at rallies and appears on Fox News. Munoz is a conservative radio talk show host who immigrated to the United States, legally, from Colombia.
Hecker is the author of the Contract From America, a document Tea Partiers are asking politicians to sign in order to commit themselves to the conservative values of the Tea Party movement.
Each of the four members spoke at Sunday’s 9/12 rally.
