Arianna appeared on CNN's 'The Situation Room' Friday to weigh in on the first national Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
Arianna believes that while the fringe elements of the tea party movement may be garnering the biggest headlines, the group is based on substantive concerns about the decline of the middle-class. Because of anger stirred by lawmakers' failures, Arianna warned that incumbents of both political parties should be worried about the upcoming midterm elections.
