‘Fire Paul Ryan’? Rebel PACs Hit Republicans, and It Pays

Groups including the Tea Party Leadership Fund, the Madison Project and the Tea Party Patriots have in the past year turned the attack on the Republican leadership into a fund-raising tool, records show.

--

Of the $6.7 million the Tea Party Leadership Fund has raised since 2013, only about $910,000 has been spent on conservative Republican candidates it supports.

Almost all of the rest of the money it has raised since 2013 has been spent on consulting firms involved in helping collect the donations.

One of them, Strategic Fundraising of St. Paul, has been paid $2.3 million by the Tea Party Leadership Fund since 2013 to follow up the appeals with phone calls soliciting contributions.
