The influential conservative group FreedomWorks, which helped launch the tea party movement, is reportedly dissolving. Its president is blaming the rise of Trump's MAGA-style politics.
FreedomWorks, the once influential conservative group that helped spur the tea party movement, is reportedly shutting its doors and blaming the influence of Donald Trump for its demise. FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon told Politico in an exclusive interview published Wednesday that the group has dissolved, 'effective immediately.' Wednesday marked the last day for the organization’s roughly two dozen staff members.
'A lot of our base aged, and so the new activists that have come in Trump, they tend to be much more populist,' Brandon told the outlet. 'So, you look at the base that just kind of shifted.' The shift, he said, was seen even in FreedomWorks’ own members, which divided into MAGA and 'Never Trump factions.
