Mike Lee to give tea party SOTU response -- By Tal Kopan, Politico

Sen. Mike Lee will deliver the tea party’s response to the president’s State of the Union Address, a major tea party group announced Tuesday.

The Utah Republican will speak immediately after the traditional Republican response to the State of the Union, which begins after President Barack Obama’s address, the Tea Party Express said.

The State of the Union is set for next Tuesday.

The Tea Party Express, a tea party PAC, began giving a response to the State of the Union in addition to the Republican response in 2011, delivered that year by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). Last year, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) gave the tea party response.
