Northeast Pennsylvania Spirit of 1776, a branch of the Tea Party, has sent out an email blast with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Patrick Henry and others, taking turns assaulting President Barack Obama, reports Think Progress. According to these self-proclaimed American patriots, it’s just for kicks and giggles.

A member of the Tea Party confirmed to Think Progress that the organization sent out the email because it was funny, and more importantly, because President Obama “may be a Muslim.”

In an appearance on “Anderson Cooper 360°,” Tea Party leader Mark Williams claimed that Pres. Obama was “Racist-in-Chief” and an “Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug,” who did not have America’s best interest at heart
