Brian did NOT refer to Sarvis as the tea party candidate and he complemented the tea party. This is amazing that someone can run with such an erroneous take on something.
I tuned in saw and heard Brian saying that a Tea Party candidate was responsible for taking away a percentage of votes from Cuccinelli. Who was he talking about than? Was there another candidate involved that I didn’t know about?
I just remembered that he said that the candidate that he was referring to was told by Ron Paul to drop out. So who was it if it wasn’t the “libertarian”? Brian did not say “Libertarian” when referring to this candidate. Otherwise I would have agreed with him because Sarvis ended up screwing Cuccinelli by staying in. I wouldn’t have taken any notice if he did not say “tea party”. Like I said before, maybe he just said it by accident.
If it was a slip up, he does need to be more careful because the Tea Party has been blamed enough for the failures of the GOP. I’m tired of hearing it. That is why I had a strong reaction to his statement.
