Video footage of what appears to be The Velvet Underground's drummer Moe Tucker coming out in support of the Tea Party movement in the USA has surfaced online.
A new broadcast from the WALB network shows an interview with a Maureen Tucker, in which she says she is sick of how the country is supposedly being led towards socialism.
The interview was filmed earlier this year in Georgia at a meeting of the group, which is affiliated with the Republican party and opposes many federal laws introduced by the Democrats.
