Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly told GOP donors on a conference call this week the Tea Party is “nothing but a bunch of bullies” that he plans to “punch in the nose.”
Well, the Tea Party responded tonight to the alleged remarks by Senator McConnell.
Matthew Boyle at Breitbart reported:
A major GOP donor who told Breitbart News Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made disparaging remarks about the Tea Party movement and about Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) continues to stand by his original story after claims that the reports were not accurate.
This individual reported that on the Oct. 30 fundraising call American Crossroads’ Karl Rove and Steven J. Law held with McConnell, “McConnell specifically talked about Mike Lee by name, specifically talked about Ted Cruz by name, and he specifically talked about the Tea Party by name,” the donor told Breitbart News in response to a story Rove’s and McConnell’s teams have purported shows otherwise.
That story, published by Charlie Spiering at The Washington Examiner earlier on Friday, confirms that McConnell “criticized conservative groups who supported the plan to defund Obamacare” and that he also criticized those conservatives who “are now actively working to defeat him in Kentucky.” The article adds that McConnell “repeatedly mentioned the Senate Conservatives Fund by name.”
Spiering, who says he was exclusively provided a 27-minute audio file of the call, reports that McConnell did, as Breitbart News’ source said, talk about dealing with conservative “schoolyard bullies” by “punching them in the nose.”
…Tea Party Express chairwoman Amy Kremer said it does not matter whether those “bullies” and “punch them in the nose” remarks McConnell made on the call were specifically aimed at Senate Conservatives Fund or whether they were general to the grassroots movement; the conclusion Tea Partiers should take away is the same.
“An attack on SCF or any Tea Party organization or Ted Cruz or Mike Lee is an attack on all of us,” Kremer said in a phone interview Friday afternoon.

Stop supporting the UniParty.
That’s right. Thank you.
Due to recent threats, security screening of mail delivered to our office has been heightened. Although our office may experience delays, please know that Senator McConnell prioritizes your correspondences and will respond to them accordingly. We appreciate your patience during this time.
You see how he folds like a limp rag when pressed..
one can only imagine how he is with Harry in “negotiations”.
The Tea Party didn’t make Obamacare fail—Obama and his dim witted crew did that. Maybe it could read: “I remember where I was when the Tea Party shot JFK” Acording to the Democrats and the MSM—The Tea Party is responcible for all the ills in the world—9-11, Pearl Harbor, The Johnstown Flood, The Great Depression, the fall of Saigon, and Disco.
They are not irrelevant. Not at all
Lets assume the republicans win a majority in the senate and hold the house. The Harry, before the new congress is seated, with a quick slight of hand changes to senate rules re-empowering the minority and further requiring a super majority on all matters before the senate. Heck he may even change the rules to give the minority a 50/chairmanship on all committees . The republicans will whimper and say well om we can do power sharing just like that did last time....
As long as you have the current establishment republican leadership the election is irrelevant to restoring our liberty Neostatist aligned with statist will still march us to totalitarianism.
Things work the other way too.
There is no other way except to win back the Senate.
Without that, nothing
