Christine O’Donnell – the former Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Delaware, whose primary upset of Cong. Mike Castle and flirtation with witchcraft made national headlines – is organizing Troublemaker Fest at an IMAX theater two blocks from the Tampa Bay Times Forum. The forum is the site of the Republican Convention.
The event, slated for Aug. 26-30, will overlap with the Aug. 27-30 convention, ABC News reported.
The event is being billed on its website as a “a political youth-outreach that will empower and inspire young, independent patriots to stop Barack Obama’s second term.” O’Donnell lost her Senate bid to Democrat Chris Coons and helped preserve a slim Democratic majority.
O’Donnell was also on CNN Monday morning to promote the event and took note of what she said was a successful launch of the event on her Twitter page.
In the meantime, her activities were the subject of controversy in the conservative blogosphere. According to a posting in American Thinker, O’Donnell is accused of stealing an idea for a possible reality TV show featuring Occupy and Tea Party individuals. According to the post, she is working with Current TV, a network associated with Tea Party nemesis and former Vice President Al Gore.
