A Florida tea party activist who's coordinating a major rally where Donald Trump is a featured speaker this weekend says he got a feeler phone call from a Mitt Romney aide the day after Trump's attendance was announced, asking if the former Massachusetts governor could also speak at the event.
Everett Wilkinson, the Florida coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots and the chairman of the South Florida Tea Party, said he got a call "from Mitt Romney's person for Florida... [saying she] wants Romney to show up. And I said, 'OK, we've got a very busy schedule...' but I tried to fit them in. I haven't heard anything back from them."
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul denied Wilkinson's claim. "We're planning an event for central Florida on Friday, not south Florida, which we'll have more details on later," she said. "No one has spoken with Mr. Wilkinson."

FUMR!! Booo him off the stage.
Any Tea Party that goes near either of these rich liberals is crazy. Obama is raising taxes. The Tea Party’s mission is to oppose taxes. They need to refocus on that, and ignore the distractions.
romney spends all his time these days defending and praising obama— he should just go ahead and join Code Pink.
I’d love to see him show up at the Tampa rally. He’d get booed of the stage.
Romney now a TPer?
What else he wouldn’t promise to do (become)?
No kidding. They figured if they were dumb enough to buy the Trump oil, the Mitt oil couldn’t be that hard a sell.
We probably don't want to know how low that turd would sink.

Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
Romney now a TPer?
He can afford a lot of Toilet Paper!
Once again Mitt “Me Too” Romney the eternal camp follower.
Their citizen test fails. The illegals working at Romney's home proved that.
The same group that bashes the "birthe" movement is the same group that bashed the Patriots during the Amnesty debate.
That's not the mission of my tea party. There are many important issues including stopping the spending, stopping the takeover of health care, stopping the bailouts of wealthy political supporters ...Taxed Enough Already was a phrase that came significantly after the first formation of Tea Parties.
Uhh, after all he learned the art of flip-flopping from Bubba himself. LOL
