The Atlanta Tea Party, joined by Tea Party Patriots founder Jenny Beth Martin, kicked off their first in a nationwide series of congressional office visits Wednesday to pressure lawmakers to drop the impeachment effort against President Donald Trump for his call with the president of Ukraine. After this pilot run, Tea Party Patriots will be protesting at lawmakers’ offices around the United States on Oct. 9.
Democrat Georgia congresswoman Lucy McBath’s staff locked her office door on the pro-Trump protesters, allowing only a small handful to discuss their concerns with staff. McBath has signaled her support for an impeachment inquiry into allegations that Trump pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden’s corruption in the country. The president of Ukraine said that Trump did not pressure him. Trump has released a transcript of the July phone call in question.
