Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin addressed the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, speaking on the "vision" the Tea Party has for America.

"For this vision, we've been mocked, marginalized and maligned by President Obama" and other Democrats, Martin said.

Martin also mentioned members of the "Republican establishment" like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) who have mocked the Tea Party. But she offered praised for several Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
