Who is Amy Kremer?

Amy Kremer is an American political activist and the chair of the Tea Party Express.

Kremer previously worked for Delta Air Lines as a flight attendant, and became politically active in the Tea Party movement through Twitter and was involved in organising the first Tea Party protests in 2009. She was a founding member of Tea Party Patriots, but defected to the Tea Party Express in October 2009. During the 2010 midterm elections Kremer campaigned for candidates including Joe Miller, who ran for the U.S. Senate in Alaska. In October 2010, The Daily Telegraph named her the "most influential" person in the Tea Party movement.

During a September 2012 appearance on CNN's Starting Point, host Soledad O'Brien and others criticised Kremer for wondering whether President Barack Obama "loves America."
