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.’”

Has he ever threatened the Democrats like this?
Hey, they will be demanding we vote for the lesser of two evils.
As if its not hard to tell who that is in some places
Not just a punch in the nose but I would like to see him being kicked in the groin area.
Mitch McConnell needs a kick in the a$$ hard enough to throw this career criminal right out of office.
God I love it. Is there a way to download it and print it out to send it to the GOP when they send me request for donations?
I think it is beyond clear that we need to “Ditch Mitch”.
I think it is beyond time to support Matt Bevin:

I see... The TEA party, (Taxed Enough Already), is the bully here? We the Taxpayers of the country are getting raped over and over to pay taxes on this, taxes on that and ‘fees’ up the ying/yang and we are the Bullies?
Fraid not, Senator McConnell, it’s time for pay back. You and yours bullied us first and took all you could from us. Now it’s time for you to get taken to the cleaners.
If only he could direct this anger toward Harry Reid. Please, Kentucky, GET RID OF THIS GUY!!
I suggest making the contribution through the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), a group of patriots that McConnell hates. 100% of your contribution through SCF reaches the candidate. SCF was the group that first introduced Ted Cruz to me with their endorsement of Cruz for the U.S. Senate seat in my home state of Texas.
Bullies are strong and their victims are weak.
Mitch lets slip that he thinks the Tea Party is stronger than he is.
I have an excuse for being slow; I’m an old fogey ... LOL ...
Oh, we will. Sadly, maybe not as successfully as we did with Rand Paul.
I don't know if we can get Bevin the nomination, but there are a lot of us out here that will not vote for McConnell as the lesser of two evils. We aren't voting for Grimes, but we will not assist Mitch (Marshal Pétain) McConnell in his sellout.
Grimes will be (really) bad also, but at least she looks pretty good in tight jeans.
Until the GOPe is firmly convinced that they can no longer force us to vote for them via the lesser of two evils approach, they will continue to defacate on us.
“The original is caps, how did yours get lower case?”
Either they changed it since or it changed itself between copy and paste. I didn’t type it.
Somebody slap McConnell with an FEC suit for trying to use violent means to intimidate a certain segment of voters.
NO. You send them a check for a penny so that it costs them money to process the donation.
The Tea Party never bullied anyone...criticize yes, but never bullied anyone...! Mitch McConnell, Rove and the Crossroads organization (lobbies) should welcome these good Americans.....as it is, they are the bullies.
The Democrats want to go nuclear? They haven't seen nuclear yet. Do this, and you will get lifetime support from every conservative in America.
“Why is it he never talks like that about his ‘friends’ across the aisle?”
