Mitch McConnell calls the Tea Party a “bunch of bullies”

If this story is true Mitch McConnell called the Tea Party a bunch of bullies who should be punched in the nose while on a conference call with Karl Rove’s organization:

McConnell said the Tea Party was ‘nothing but a bunch of bullies,’” the source said. “And he said ‘you know how you deal with schoolyard bullies? You punch them in the nose and that’s what we’re going to do”

  Karl Rove’s organization is designed to, and charged with, protecting  the incumbent establishment Republicans from challenges outside of the ruling class, so it is no surprise to hear hostility voiced against those that threaten their power.

  Why does Mitch McConnell consider the Tea Party to be bullies? Because they have the audacity to hold him accountable to the people for his votes by running a more conservative candidate against him in the primary. He feels as if he is entitled to his position and he probably feels insulted that somebody would run against him and attempt to take away what he feels is rightfully his.

 This is elitist mentality of the highest order and I have no doubt in my mind this story is true despite the denials this ever took place. After all, this is not the first time the establishment Republicans have gone after the Tea Party. We must not forget that John Boehner punished conservatives in the Republican party for not toeing the establishment line by removing them for budget committees. There is a history here and I agree with what an unnamed aide said when he stated, “perhaps if he focused less on destroying the Tea Party and more on defeating Democrats, he’d have more to show for his leadership.”
