MCCONNELL: TEA PARTY 'BULLIES' WHO NEED PUNCH IN NOSE
Breitbart ^ | November 22, 2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 11/22/2013 9:34:00 AM PST by Star Traveler

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on a conference call organized by Karl Rove’s Crossroads organization for large donors and their advisers on Oct. 30 that the Tea Party movement, in his view, is a “nothing but a bunch of bullies” that he plans to “punch … in the nose.”

On the call, according to a donor who was on it, McConnell personally named Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as Tea Party conservatives he views as problematic for him. “The bulk of it was an attack on the Tea Party in general, Cruz in particular,” the source, a prominent donor, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.

But the most memorable line came at the end of the call.

“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.’”

RE :”Haha. I’ve been warned by the moderator not to change the title so I always copy directly from the site”

It was a small change removing the first word ‘exclusive’ and capitalizing the rest of them.

Makes searches harder.

Its not locked yet though.

Evidently, Mitch would love to punch Ronald Reagan in the nose.

“Exclusive” wasn’t the title of the article. The “title” is everything after “exclusive”.

“Exclusive” is what a paper or magazine says when describing the “type” of article it is.

I hope the Tea Party punches him in the nose, this next election!

Try about three feet lower. A kick with steel-toed boots.

It's on like Donkey Kong, Mitch.

I just wish that the 43 had one pair of balls between them. All we have is Cruz and Lee.

The CAPS were part of the original article, taken as a direct “copy and paste”.
