Tea Party Patriots: Stop calling Keith Fimian

The Tea Party Patriots, one of the national groups driving Republican victories in the Nov. 2 election, had a new message for its members Friday: Stop calling Keith Fimian.

Apparently unaware that Fimian, a Republican, had just days earlier conceded the House race in Northern Virginia’s 11th Congressional District to incumbent Rep. Gerry Connolly, the Tea Party Patriots distributed his phone number to its members and told them to call Fimian and urge him to attend the Tea Party’s “freshman orientation” for new congressmen.
