That is definitely not what he said. He said (loosely quoted), “who said the Tea Party is dead? It is because of them that this race was so close.” Kilmeade credited the Tea Party.
Well, I know what I heard. I don’t normally get pissed off enough to post a “vanity” on Free Republic. To post a “vanity” is to basically ask to get your butt kicked so I usually avoid it. I made an exception this time because I was outraged by what I was hearing.
He may have said some positive things about the Tea Party but I know that I heard him refer to Sarvis as a Tea Party candidate! I tuned in to Fox & Friends after having my cup of coffee so I know that I wasn’t hearing things. Maybe he mistakenly referred to Sarvis as Tea Party affiliated and not Libertarian. It could have been a slip of the tongue. If that’s the case, he should be more careful.
