The Tea Party and its supporters claim that it is a grassroots movement, but it is not. It was created, funded and promoted by the Koch brothers, oil billionaires from Texas, according to The New Yorker magazine.

The Tea Party movement is not a unified movement as the media and politicians portray, according to Atlantic magazine. The major important Tea Party groups in America hate each other and even deny each other's legitimacy. The major Tea Party groups are the Tea Party Express. National Tea Party Federation, Tea Party Nation, and Tea Party Patriots.
